Mimi’s gift to Brianna was a trip to the local natural sciences museum – another bit hit! (I must say, I am loving how well the memory gifts are working out – she is having a great time!)
Because we got tickets to ride the train near the beginning of our visit, we first headed outside to check out the drums (on our way to the train station). While the older kids were quite rambunctious for B, I was impressed with how she held her ground and waited for her turn to play the drums.
More cowbell…
The train went through a tunnel twice, and she didn’t like the idea of that tunnel much, so we told her to close her eyes…
After the train ride, she decided the giant sand box needed to be checked out.
That was a brief stop, however, because what she really wanted to see were the BUGS!! The creepier, the better (ick!).
She was just fascinated by these lady bugs.
We also saw cave roaches (at least 3″ long!), ants, caterpillars, beetles, other spiders, and these beautiful (but deadly) frogs.
It took a little convincing to pull her away from the creepy crawlies to go see the butterflies (I am so not kidding)!
Postman butterfly
Owl butterflies
While I believe we spent most of our morning admiring some type of bug (beautiful or otherwise), we did spend some time in the other parts of the museum, e.g., the space section
The math section (this is her “wine”)
There was just so much to do – we could have easily spent all day there (and probably will when she gets older)!
