bowling and the museum

We spent a week without Ben. Rhone and I got to shovel out from fresh batch of snow. When Ben got home we tried to make up for lost time and do some fun things together. We took Rhone bowling for the first time. It worked out nice that it wasn't too busy. We had a lot of fun even though Rhone with 6 lb ball is a little dangerous.

It was extra work, but I shoveled a "snow mountain" for Rhone to climb up and down. Rhone showing of his bowling shoes I love the look of excitement on Rhone's face. Ahh, yes he is kicking the bowling ball. On the way home we stopped for an ice cream treat.

Since Ben got Monday off for MLK day we decided to take a little trip to the Brandywine Valley. It is so beautiful there. We spent most of our time at the Delaware Museum of Natural History. They had a lot of great hands on activities for the kids too. The dinosaurs were definitely Rhone's favorite. We were looking for someplace to get lunch and I told Ben that we should try and find something local. We sure did. It's a place called Jimmy John's Pipin Hot Sandwiches (not the chain) in PA. It was a really busy "frankfurter" place. They had the best shakes and onion rings. Rhone loved watching the trains and even made a new friend.

Rhone's favorite exhibit, see he can't take his eyes off it.
We couldn't skip out on a picture with the pheasants. I founds some really odd greeting cards at Anthropology with pheasants, chukars, and grouse on them this day too. They were over priced, but I couldn't pass them up.
There were quite a few live animals/insects there from the Pilly zoo. Rhone wasn't not interested in touching any of them.

Jimmy John's restaurant was full of great black and white photos
