Thursday, June 28th - A full day of travel for Kevin. Pretty countryside from Paris to Crans-Montana, Switzerland.
Meanwhile, Katie, Sarah, Jenna, Kellen, & I spent the day at the Perot Museum in Dallas. The outside architecture is just as interesting as what's inside.
The ceiling in the atrium where you purchase tickets had these cool water molecules suspended - they raise up and down as you walk underneath them.

Really cool Prehistoric exhibit
The kids loved going to different kiosks creating different aspects of their unique bird and then seeing the results put together.
I think we could all agree that the Geode exhibit was our favorite. Kellen especially loved the red ones.
So many different types, textures, colors - fascinating!
This one was shades of brown until a florescent light was shone upon it, then it turned red and green.
This was a very large one that you could crank open and closed - really cool!
We had a little snack/lunch in the museum cafe and then back to the exhibits. Kellen enjoyed this balancing maze.
A brain, spinal cord, and nerves!
The kids loved this interactive screen - copying yoga stretches. There was also a dancing dinosaur interactive screen - the dinosaurs mirrored the kids' dance moves.
A virtual reality experience
This keyboard was cool. You could assign keys to play different instrument sounds and then when you played that key, the instrument above would play.
The both had so much fun racing a T-rex! You could also race different famous athletes or a cheetah. (See videos in "Ft Worth '18" folder.)
It took both Katie and I to get a decent score on the reaction time test.
After the museum, we stopped by Steel City Pops for a unique popsicle treat. Then we went back to the Keyes so the kids could swim some more.
Katie, Sarah, and I left the kids in the pool under Ruthie's watch as she graciously offered to keep the kids so we could have a dinner off on our own. We went to Chuy's and it did not disappoint!
While we were out, the kids were getting thoroughly spoiled by Bob & Ruthie! Dinner at Taco Bueno complete with cheesecake chimis and cinnamon chips. And THEN, Bahama Buck's Snow Cones. We knew it was time to head back home when they sent us the snow cone picture at 9:30pm.
This was our last night before going over to Matt, Leslie, & Lincoln's house for a few nights and the kids had been wanting to try out Katie's fancy jacuzzi bath tub. It takes 30 minutes to fill, but again, it's not a visit with the Keyes unless you have some late night adventures. We started filling it about 10 pm, so around 10:30 it was ready.
They loved the changing lights and the jets. And we loved their funny poses and watching them have so much fun!
