Charlie Mac's 3rd Birthday!! Nature Museum and Cake with Texas family

Waking up on his third birthday included a major snuggle session with Mama, Daddy and Baby Sister! Apparently, Charlie Mac and I have the same hairstyle when we wake up...
We went to the Children's Nature and Science Museum for birthday fun. First stop was the hall of Texas Wildlife: 
Which included a log tunnel to illustrate butterflies and their development. Here's our little bug:
Then on to the Mineral exhibit. Lots of buttons that opened things up and shined lights on things here: 
Willa Ann wants to know the way to the precious gems please. These rocks are great and all, but...
Here we have the Wild West exhibit. Charlie Mac's face as he looks at this snake is priceless: 
Here we are in the Ocean Dallas exhibit that taught us about what lived under the water when Dallas was underwater: 
Charlie Mac tries to convey the wonder of the Golden Ratio as he points out the Nautilus:
I know what he's thinking here...he wants one of these...
Here there was an interactive area where kids can learn about physical science...or have a blast rolling golf balls through different loops, etc:
It's time for birthday cake!!! 
Willa Ann can't get enough of that icing--oh my goodness it's too good!
