Ripley's Believe or Not

Yesterday I took the boys to the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum. We started in the wax museum. Jacob was immediately freaked out. He made it through about half of the wax museum before I ended up carrying him the rest of the time. My shoulder is hurting today, let me tell you. I suppose he's at least 40 pounds now. Anyway, I didn't get any pictures after I started carrying him, but you can see Justin was enjoying posing. After the wax museum we went to the actual Ripley's exhibits. Matthew enjoyed that. His current career goal is to be a cryptozoologist, and study legends and such. The have a Texas Tornado room, where it's all dark and fans are blowing at you, Justin was excited for that. That kid is terrified of storms though, so it was kind of ironic. After you go through the "windy" room, there is a mock setup of a house that has gone through a tornado, and they show exhibits of actual things that have been found after a tornado, such as a baby in a tree, and a rooster that was sucked into a jar. Anyway, the place really wasn't very big, so we were only there for about an hour and a half. Justin claimed he didn't like it that much, but then couldn't stop telling Greg about it when he got home, so I think he must have liked it more than he let on.
