Today was the last day to have some fun with Linds before she went to school, so we decided to go to the Museum of Natural Science and check out the exhibits.
Austin really enjoyed all the dinosaur bones and fossils.
Chuck's favorite exhibit was the Foucault Pendulum, a visual demonstration of the Earth’s rotation. As you watch, the direction of the pendulum’s swing appears to change, when actually the earth is turning under the pendulum as it swings. The pendulum doesn't turn the earth does. It was pretty cool!
My favorite was the Cockrell Butterfly Center. There were butterfly everywhere in this 2 level habitat.
Here are just a couple of the bright colored butterflies.
They had a fun screen on the wall with a bunch of butterfly shadows dancing across it. Chuck had fun showing Austin how to make butterfly and other puppets with their hands!
Lindsie enjoyed all of the exhibits! It was a great family day!
