We decided to head off to the museum of science today, and have some fun. It's neat now that they are both old enough to sit through some of the educational things, and care about what they are hearing. We saw the planetarium movie about the Mayan's, and learned a bit about 2012. Monkey thinks it's funny, i hate to say midget was a bit concerned. She kept asking me if the world is going to end in 2012. I said we survived the turning from 1999 to 2000, so just cross your fingers :) Then we made geode's. They got to pick a rock, and the girl cracked it for them. That was neat. Nice keepsake.
Then we headed to the butterfly dome. It's so funny, last time we were there monkey was scared of the butterfly's. It was so adorable, and you can see he's still not to sure. You know how violent and ferocious butterfly's are... Much scarier than zombies!
There was also an egyption part that midget was all about. She did a big section on egypt at school, so she was so excited!
There was a funny little learning part about sand dunes, and how they were made. HA! Beat you to that, I think my kids can teach that lesson!
Midget was a daredevil, again... There was a gyrosphere, and i felt so bad. Monkey was debating, but wouldn't go. So she went ahead and went on her own. Wish dad was here, he might have gone with her!
Love the look on her face here, she loved it though. You can't tell :)
Lastly, here are my cuties!
man, being an adult and missing out on field trips sucks.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to do this kind of stuff with my boys. We are taking them to the aquarium this weekend which will be wonderful, if I can control my wild 20 month old!!
ReplyDeleteAww, bob. :( We are waiting for it to cool down for the zoo. We will make sure you go.
ReplyDeletePolly, i bet they will love the aquarium! Controlling a 20 month old, is it possible? Of course i can't control the 12 yr old either :)
