On Friday I felt like an adventure so instead of going to playgroup, I took Eliot to the natural history museum in Brussels. We took the train and hiked about a kilometer (me carrying the nearly 30 pound Eliot since there was too much traffic for my taste to have him walk on the narrow sidewalks). I did not take the stroller because you never know when a metro station will not have an escalator and you will be stuck somehow trying to get Eliot and a large stroller up a tall flight of stairs. I think I am going to have to invest in an umbrella stroller although I was trying to avoid it. We have such a nice little red one back in Chicago but not enough space to bring it with us.... Here is Eliot pointing to the T-Rex that he really liked.

A kind woman noticed me trying to capture Eliot's interactions with the dinosaurs and offered to take this photo of us. She was with her husband and their grandson who was just about 3 and was having a great time just like Eliot.

Eliot thinks about those big bones.

These bones were laying as they had discovered them (in Belgium, apparently quite the hotspot for dinosaur activity) and a man was working on them, painting them with something and brushing them off with a cloth.
