Science Museum

I know these posts have been super lame but since we live so far away from family I feel like I have to post all of these so they can see what we are doing...

So my Aunt Carolyn is pretty much AMAZING. She goes out of her way to spend time with us. She has a membership to the Science Museum so we spent the day there with her a few weeks ago.

Maya and Eden loved the Egypt exhibit. They got to see real mummies! Maya had studied Egypt last year in her social studies class so it was all fresh in her mind, she was so excited to see the ancient artifacts and tell us everything she remembered.

 There were "lift and see" and "lift and smell" boxes. They tried to get me to smell the deer poop one...uh...no thanks.

 The Butterfly Garden was a huge hit...

GK loved butterflies. She even gave the girls a book a few years ago about a grandma who passes away but tells her granddaughter before she dies that whenever she sees a butterfly to think of her because she would always be near them, fluttering by. The butterfly in the book looks just like this one...

 

Camden was being such a stinker...so what else is new... He refused to look at the camera for a picture and he kept trying to touch the butterflies, even after getting scolded by the butterfly police.

There was so much to see and do! We were there for over three hours!!

The electricity show was so cool! This picture is lame and doesn't even do it justice...

Camden's favorite was the dinosaurs...he was getting dangerously close to them. I had several mini heart attacks trying to keep him away from them.

This is Maya and Camo touching dinosaur poop...

There was something for everyone at this museum too. Everyone had a great time...

We took the train there and back. It took us almost an hour to find parking near a T station which was so annoying but in the end totally worth it...Do you see the traffic behind the girls!

We had the best time. Aunt Carolyn is such a trooper, hanging out with us can be a circus but she just goes with the flow. She took C around so he could push buttons while the girls and I took our time with the exhibits that were interesting to us. It made the experience so much more enjoyable. 

Now I can cross that off of my list of things we have to do while we are here.
