Museum

Today we visited this museum a few miles north of us:

We went after lunch today and it was so nice because in most of the exhibits we were by ourselves : )

They had a kids room with lots of hands on activities.  We liked this room the best because Abigail could get down and walk/crawl around:

 

 

 Abigail liked this one enough to hang out for a while:

funny mirrors:

 

Emily decided to make herself comfortable in this exhibit.  It showed thunderstorms or rain above her so she decided to lay down in the floor and watch:

 

 It creeped Joe out to put his head inside where everyone else's head had been so his picture looks like his head is really small : )

 

 digging for fossils:

 

 This was Emily's favorite room . . . you got to dig for "jewels":

 We then went to the dinosaur exhibit and the gem exhibit:

 There was an intro movie that we didn't watch at the beginning because we wanted to make sure we had enough time to see everything.  So Emily reminded us about 10 times that we needed to go see this movie.  So we went at the end.  Abigail had fun crawling all over the room while Emily watched the movie and Joe sprawled out on the bench and took a nap . . . that's what we do when we get the theater to ourselves : )  Of course they had to explain their take on how the Earth was formed and how life was formed blah blah blah.  I kept telling Emily that we know God really formed the Earth.  I think she was more interested in the fact that we were watching a movie more than what they were really saying . . . so I think for now we are safe.
