Will & Walker's Day

A couple of years ago, Will & I started a little tradition known as "Will's Day. "Will's Day" is always the day before school starts, in which Will gets to choose whatever he wants to do all day long. If Daddy is not working he gets to tag along as well. It is now known as "Will & Walker's Day", although this year Will pretty much had the say so in what we did. I don't think Walker will let that slide next year. Anyways, this year Will had heard about Dinosaur World in Cave City(Thanks, Jill!). We also found out that there was a Wildlife Museum, and that is what Will wanted to do. Of course Walker agreed. We started out at the Wildlife Museum. The boys really enjoyed the museum (even though the airfreshener smell and the labeling of the animals were quite hilarious to me). We had to go through the museum twice.

The Bengel Tiger was a favorite, as well as the white reindeer.
Then we had breakfast for lunch at Cracker Barrel. Will & Walker had biscuit n' gravy and I had pancakes. It WAS Will & Walker's day, so they got to choose whatever they wanted.
Next we headed to Dinosaur World. It's not an action-packed adventure, but the boys really enjoyed the dinosaurs, the fossil dig, and the boneyard. Here are the boys "scared" of T-Rex. The Wooly Mammoth was also a favorite.

Will being ate by the dinosaur.
Fossil Dig. They got to dig for 15 minutes and keep any three things they wanted. Will kept two parts of shark's teeth and a part of a turtella (I think thats what it was).
The Boneyard, in which they were paleontologist and found the remains of a dinosaur.
After getting home, Will decided we needed to eat Mexican for supper. That is not surprising at all. If you ask Will where he wants to eat he immediately screams "MEXICAN!" Here's Walker not wanting his picture taken.
We ended the day with a swim and then straight to bed. We've got to get up early in the morning and even earlier on Wednesday, the first official day of school.
