We hit up the Boston Science Museum which is awesome. We went to see Harry Potter, the Exhibition. Well worth the million dollars that it costs to get in and hear people speak with fake British accents. Here are all the pictures I took:
Just kidding. They didn't allow cameras in the exhibit. They had the real deal costumes and props from the movies. I'm talkin THE Goblet of Fire, Hermoine's cute clothes and he-who-should-not-be-named's wand. Everything. It was very cool and the girls LOVED it.
The girls loved it. The information in that place overwhelms me...you could spend weeks exploring, touching and learning everything about everything...you could also spend weeks waiting for your turn for something on a crowded day. You can only give so many dirty looks to parents not teaching their kids a little consideration for other people. We finally had to leave because I was growing increasingly impatient with rude people not watching their kids. Let's leave my soapbox at that, big pet peeve.
Even though the girls look totally disgruntled in that picture with the T Rex, they had lots of fun, as did Clark and I (that picture is to document that we were there too)...its because I made them come stand still while I took a picture. And the Omni theatre? Awesome. And Haley? She loves rocks, a lot...like, she gets really excited about them and has started identifying them on her own. We stumbled on this little room of rocks and she was giddy.
And by the time we were on our way home, each girl had completed one small meltdown but we still had to eat. That's when we knew we were parents. We passed a Cheesecake Factory and PF Changs before stopping at the mall food court (gag) after 8pm...because that's when the most quality of people take their kids to the mall for some grub.
I really like family outings.

Oh, take me! Take me! I'm really good at pushing my way into exhibits with inconsiderate children and rude parents! Its these tough viking hips. It looks like it was a fabulous adventure...I think my favorite is the T-Rex in winter gear...and the food court!
The mall food court? Nothing better. Did you get one of those greasy samples of "Chinese Food" meat that they like to pass out? :) Glad you guys got to have some time with Clark.
I like family outings, too. We don't plan enough of them on lazy weekends.
I kept meaning to take the kids there for the Harry Potter thing, but put it off and off and off. It sounded like a lot of fun, too.
Only one melt down? I am impressed!
I like T-Rex's scarf. And it wouldn't be a complete family outing without meltdowns and fast food, right? I'm glad you all got to go, that's fun.
Fun Fun Fun and good parents to provide the memory makers. By the way I am enjoying your birthplace. Your parents are great and Sweden is beautiful.
