We went to Delaware last weekend so that mom could run in a race. However, Nate and Sean thought the best thing was the swimming pool at the hotel. They don't get many opportunities to swim in March so this was a special treat for them. Nate swims well and Sean paddles along just fine with his floating tube.
On Saturday we went to the Delaware Natural History Museum. It was small compared to some places we've seen before, but it was well done and enjoyable. There were many fascinating exhibits to see. This is a giant statue of a dung beetle complete with dung ball which mom found pretty gross which meant that the kids really, really liked it. Maybe only the dinosaur bones and the robotic ants scored more points with them.
One exhibit allowed the kids to see if they were taller than certain animals. Apparently Sean is shorter than an Emperor Penguin. He's actually slightly taller than it appears. He's leaning back on the wall at an angle. Even so the penguin is much taller. Who knew?
Mom had her big race on Sunday morning. Everyone walked a few blocks from the hotel to the start of the race at Caesar Rodney Square in downtown Wilmington. Everyone gave mom a hug and wished her well. Mom ran all over Wilmington for the next couple of hour while Nate and Sean got one more chance to enjoy the pool.
