field trip

The boys call this statue "The Arlington Statue"  this one was made OUT OF LEGOS!!!

Over Spring Break April 2011, I took Zorig and Buuvei to The Quantico Marine Corps Museum in Triangle, VA..THIS PLACE IS FREE!!! and It is one of the COOLEST museums I have EVER been too.. so YOU NEED TO GO!!..They gave the boys a scavenger hunt to find different things in the museum..the cool things was that the scavenger hunt also led us through the museum.. they had to find different things from the pictures on the Scavenger Hunt. The boys had SO MUCH FUN DOING THAT! When they were done they got a stamp and a marine tatoo. When we went in the pretended they were enlisting. There was even a fake marine sargent to scream at you. There were lots of interactive stations for the boys to do different things. We were able to watch a movie where we felt like we were in a jungle and when the weapons went off.. we got puffs of air in our face. We went through area's where it was hot..area's where it was cold..Zorig got scared a couple times like "Is this real?" Buuvei was the opposite he wanted to climb on everything..There were a couple of field trips there for some jr. high kids that were NOT on spring break..They kept saying "your kids are so cute" and "look at those CUTE LITTLE BOYS!!!" all the people that worked there kept saying" YOUR KIDS ARE SO WELL BEHAVED!!" I had to keep saying no I am their nanny but this is a HUGE COMPLIMENT FOR ME...because that says to me that ONE DAY ... I will have kids and people will say that to me..that MY kids are so well behaved...Zorig liked seeing all the wounded men mannequins he said "my dad would save him" that is what my dad does he SAVES people" we watched another video with Bugs Bunny in it..they like that and we watched other videos one was about who was involved with WW2. Zorig said at the end of it THAT IS NOT COOL THAT MONGOLIA DID NOT HELP!!! the jr high kids were like "he is so smart"!! so we had a GREAT DAY THERE!!! here are some of the pictures that downloaded the others I will put on FB at some point..
