First, can I repeat free fun for kids?!? Ben's likes them alright as long as he doesn't have to touch them but Edie really does love them. Sam's is still just along for the ride. So I take the kids for a ride to Fayetteville so we can see this bug thing.
So we find the place, decked out with huge signs for bus parking and drop off. We arrived in the afternoon to avoid the possible throngs of public school kids. Us mama schoolers can play and picnic and arrive for fun after it's died down a bit.
The building was a huge barn, which looked like they used it for horse shows, complete with stadium seating to watch the show. Today, the bugs were the show and the kids had the run of the place. We saw water bugs, food bugs, wood bugs, bees, butterflies and even a bunch of spiders. They even had some interactive exhibits where the kids could touch or pretend to do a bee dance. The insect show was not to be missed. People size realistic bugs were singing and dancing and teaching the kids what they do in real life. Backed up with a live trio!
What a fun day! And the icing on the cake...we got to play and picnic with friends before and even have Thai dinner out! Long fun day plus no dishes makes one happy mama!
