Ripley's Believe it or Not

They have here in Texas a Ripley's Believe it or Not museum. CREEPY......but of course we couldn't pass up the opportunity. So on Friday (the 3rd) we decided to check it all out. The guys and Krystal all got work off so it could be a family event and we had a great time! There was a wax museum we went through first and then the Ripley's museum. I think we all liked the wax museum better than the Ripley's. There are some skin crawling, weird things people do to themselves that blows my mind. Why for instance would a man want to hang himself by the skin of his back on a human mobile? Weird, but that's Ripley!


There are A LOT of pictures to follow so just beware.


In front of the museum are these dinosaurs that we had fun with.




Kelvin made Krystal go up and talk to this one.




Ready to go in.




Hannah Montana This one is for you Felicia!




Star Trekin'




We are our own three stooge material!




There were wax molds of all the Presidents to this date. It was a big line, but really cool to see all the men that have lead this country side by side. Here are the ones from the latest generations. President Obama was in another display.




"Well, you see Oprah....."




Yes! We can figure this thing out together!




Someone doesn't like David Letterman.




"We're off to see the Wizard....." (This was actually the Wizard of Oz section)




"NO! Don't do it Harry!"




"I knew I should have brought my sword."




The founding fathers with the constitution!




They had a whole section dedicated to the life of Christ. From the birth, to teaching the the temple as a child, the cruxifiction, the resurrection and many other scenes in between. It was really cool that they would respect his life so much to have a big section in his honor.



Me at the tomb




He tested his strength against his father and brother in law and emerged victorious!



The three studs! They all did really well, I unfortunatly didn't get a video of all three of them doing the challenge.




My very own Peter Pan!




Sometimes I wish I had a fairy godmother to help me get dressed for parties!




Hmmm....Not quite long enough is it.




This is a picture of the last supper but it's all done in postage stamps.




This is an exact replica of the tallest man in the world.




Davinci!




The picture doesn't show it well, but the rocks were glowing. It was a do you dare walk across the hot lava rocks thing! Ooooo




Ha Ha Ha!! Just kidding. I really wouldn't. But if I could, no...but really!




AWWWWW!!




I tried to relieve the poor skull of his jewels but was unsucessful.
