Hill!

Yes, Houston is very flat. So the other day we took the boys to see Cave of Forgotten Dreams at the Museum of Natural Science. It was a modest success. Jamie was very curious about what it would be like since he understood it was not the usual movie theater and asked all manner of questions about the format, the setup, the program. Connor wanted to know if there would be candy. Then we got in there and they were pretty fidgety at first. This turned into a lot of sighing from Jamie about being bored. Eventually I looked over and Connor had taken his shirt off and Jamie was starting to tickle him. This boded ill and pretty soon I felt I had fought the good fight long enough and took them out. Jamie then pouted because he said he actually was starting to like it. So back in we went. This time Connor got really impatient (he was apparently INCREDIBLY hungry. Because we don't feed them, of course.). But we made it through.

32000 year-old cave paintings, however, cannot compete with man-made hills. By far the best part of the evening for boys when getting to the museum early. Sarah had a meeting with someone so the boys and I had an hour to kill. For boys in the flattest place possible, nothing could be better than the hill by the outdoor theater in the park nearby so off we went. The game was to run down the hill and try and tackle Daddy, so you'll see me getting out of the way at the end, sorry for the shaky camera.
