Took the girls to breakfast this morning, as I don't typically have them on Saturday mornings, followed by a visit to the park. We hadn't been to the park in awhile and the girls let me know it. So they got to spend over an hour playing, which should hold them off for a bit.
It's funny to note that Darby had a little incident while at the park. A couple was having their wedding at the nearby pavilion, and Darby was ringing these chimes at the playground so loudly that it was apparently disrupting the wedding. Someone had to come over and ask her to stop. So somewhere in someone's wedding video is a pause while they ask my daughter to knock it the heck off.
It was about time to get out of there anyway, so we left and caught the movie Everyone's Hero. It was decent as far as overall quality (excellent for the kids, no language issues, and a great message), pretty funny at times, though it was also a little hokey in parts (for adults). But it was a baseball movie, so I was forgiving. I thought it was interesting that it was being directed by Christopher Reeve at the time of his death in 2004.
After the movie, I finally got around to taking the kids to the Oklahoma History Center. Had been wanting to do that for awhile, but hadn't gotten around to it. It's a neat place, though I think they need a few more exhibits. They did a good job at covering even the bad parts of Oklahoma's history, but I still felt like there were a couple things missing. The kids love museums (but ironically hate walking through them and while they always express excitement when arriving they start complaining not long after getting started), and there were A LOT of interactive touch screens and games for the younger ones. Looked like an expensive place to put together (and maintain), but I'm glad we're doing it. It's also really cheap to get in, so I definitely recommend everyone in the state check it out if they're in the neighborhood.
