One day last week, the kids and I visited the Texas Military Forces Museum at Camp Mabry. We drive past Camp Mabry all the time, and every time one of the kids will say, "I wish we could go there some day!" and I'll respond with, "Yeah, we should visit some time!" Well, we finally got to go last week!
The main reason for our visit was Oliver's current interest in the military (and also it was free!), and I knew that Theodore would also enjoy looking at the tanks and military vehicles. Buttercup was adamant that she did NOT want to go, but I reminded her that sometimes we all have to do things we don't want to do. ;-) She wasn't too happy about being there, as seen in the next two pictures . . .
. . . then once we got inside, she immediately noticed the section of the museum devoted to the Civil War cavalry, and after talking to this horse statue for a couple of minutes, she was in a much better mood. :-)
I wasn't sure how long we would last in the museum based on Miss B's mood and Theodore not getting a nap that day, but we managed to stay for an hour and a half! And everyone had a good time!
Lots and lots of vehicles . . .
Everyone enjoyed taking a turn sitting in this cockpit :-)
When we got to this car, Theodore ran right over and shouted, "OH, YEAH! This one my FAVORITE!!!" Ha ha ha!
A combat bike? :-)
This is an anti-tank obstacle used at Omaha Beach.
After we had our fill of wandering around inside the museum, we went outside and explored the tanks and other vehicles outside. It was a fun trip and I definitely think we'll go back another time! :-)
