The night before President's Day our friend Maryann called up to ask if we could go to the DMNS with them. Danny was already signed up for a soccer clinic and a date with my mom afterwards, so us girls headed to Denver without our boys. This was our first time going with these friends and we had a blast. Yes, we really like this place. We finally branched out and didn't spend time in Space Odyssey even though we just had to hit up the Discovery Zone. We also got to peak in on the new Discovery Zone that is set to open in June. Doesn't look like much yet, but we'll still be back to see it this summer. I felt like the new expansion was mostly wasted space -- lots of places it would have been better to put a floor in than leaving it open to the ceiling two or three floors above. But if you've seen our new house, you know we don't have any of that up to the second floor stuff going on. We maxed out the square footage to obtain a huge play room and still believe it was a great decision.
Story time:
On the way to the DM of N & Science Kaelah was is a very talkative mood and I loved it. She told me all about what she wanted her family to be like when she grew up. At first she said she wanted 4 daughters. Possible names she mentioned were Hannah, Sierra, Anna, and Sophia. When I asked if she wanted all girls she changed her mind to say she wanted 3 boys and 3 girls with names like Trevor, Daniel, and William. (There is some major Milam family influence in her names!) She wants her husband to have a handsome name like Shane (I assume from the Pacifier movie) but not that name but one like it. She wants to own a restaurant 2 hours away from Walt Disney World but realizes it will more likely be 3 hours away. And she is going to be a really nice mom because she will buy expensive stuff and let her girls have all the Monster High dolls they want. And the boys can have Chima legos and a Star Wars bedroom. Her house is going to be like ours except there will be another bedroom next to the guest bedroom and it will be a store where her children can buy toys with smiley faces. And the back yard will have a playground and big sand box. She will also be a nice mom because she will buy her children iPads when they turn 8 years old and they can all have 3 phones. After going over all this in much more detail than I have written down she said, "Wow. I talked almost all the way to the museum. My throat kind of hurts." She then asked Michelle what she wanted her family to be like when she grew up. Michelle simply said she didn't know.
P.S. What got that conversation started was Kaelah saying, "Isn't it amazing how fast seven days can go by at Disney World?" We talked about how we want to go back when K is 9 and M is 6 and N is 3. I said I wanted to take our family to Taiwan when K is in high school. That got her started on places she wanted to live (CA, UT, and China) and then that led to the rest. Just listening to her made the gas money worth it.
