science museum

This is a long post, bear with me! We go to this museum a lot but I hadn't brought the camera the last few times.

The kids love pressing the buttons to see different landmarks and towns light up. They like to find the northernmost light as well as the southern.

Jane always learns about birds in this part of the museum!

This is where you "make your own museum."

Jane created a dinosaur and sea thing museum.

Malcolm made a Green Lantern museum.

Look at the tiny turtle!

Jane found some books to read...

... and Malcolm was interested in this skeleton.

They wanted to see how many nanometers tall they were.

After lunch we went to a Sesame Street planetarium show. They played with Daddy's phone while we waited in line. (The kids liked the show but the parents wished it had taught a few more things, like constellations and planets.)

Daddy showed them how the Omni Theater projector worked.

We visited the mammoth and mastodon exhibit. Malcolm loves this big guy!

They're in front of a pygmy mammoth.

In this section Malcolm wanted to see different versions of hearts. He's been interested in the human heart lately.

Here he is feeling his pulse.

Jane created this self-portrait with chains on a magnetic board.

One of the last places we visited was the pirate and shipwreck exhibit.

We stayed for a long time and enjoyed ourselves. And we never went into the kids' section which is usually crowded, so Nate and I were glad about that!
