So last Saturday, we all went down. When we got there, we found out that they were having a member's only morning to open a new exhibit about water. They had snacks out, and there were hardly any people in the new exhibit. Very nice.

Henry was a bit cantankerous at the house before we left, and I said..."Come on, it will be fun. At the science museum, you can crawl through things and touch things." So, of course, he latched on to that. From the minute we got in the car, he had a constant refrain of..."I want to climb through things and touch things. When do I get to climb through things and touch things?" Well, we finally found something.
Prairie dog tunnels...

Then we walked next door to the nature building. This is like the museum that time forgot. The exhibits are very faded (both dead animals and background). They have the awful dramatic lighting that terrifies my kids....where it's dark with spotlights shining on these dead animals. They kept asking...how did the bear die? Why is the beaver dead? Todd says he can remember coming here as a child and that it is exactly the same in this part. In the museum's defense...they are building a schnazzy new building, so I'm sure this will go away or get updated.
Everyone was intrigued and then scared by the bear.

This was pretty cool. Huge ancient sea turtle/dinosaur type thing that was found in a farmer's field right outside of dallas.
