Getting eaten by a dinosaur is always a good way to start the day!
Rebecca really wanted to go to the Mars exhibit and play in the dirt and water. The girls both really liked it, but Joseph wanted nothing to do with putting his hands in the mud.
Rebecca and Miriam wanted to take a picture by the gold. I think that is the biggest piece of gold they will ever be close to!
They had fun making music.
We went to the Discovery Center. Rebecca wanted to play the games.
Joseph liked playing with the brains. It took me a minute to figure out what was in front of him in this picture. It is a model of a human brain. He spent most of his time at the magnets.
Miriam liked the animals with the interchangeable body parts.
Rebecca also wanted to visit the mummies. She studied about Ancient Egypt in school last year.
Miriam requested a visit to the dinosaurs. Joseph ended up really liking them, too. There is one really long dinosaur spanning nearly the whole room. He kept looking up at it and pointing.
Finally, we visited the Native American Exhibit. Here the girls are next to the totem poles. Miriam asked me if this was the Tiki area (like the Tiki room at Disneyland). Several times she mentioned that these were Tiki things.
There is a model of a Native American Hogan in the museum. The kids liked playing in it. Joseph would go up to this poor tea kettle and put his mouth up to the spout. Then he would walk away smacking his lips. Mmmm. I hope there weren't too many other kids doing the same thing...All in all, a fun day! The kids all fell asleep on the way home, so it must have been a success!
