Natural History Museum

So after a lazy day on Monday spending a great deal of time counting mulah from Gma E-ster (see coins below- you would not believe how fascinating these coins and this little wallet is to Jax.  Also we played with all gifts received- play doh, special mess-free finger paints, books, paper dolls, Barbies, etc..), we met up w some friends at the Natural History Museum on the big Aug 2-7.   Truth be told, Hilly loves her some taxidermy.  Other truth be told, so do I.

Below is my beloved son, ready to see some dinosaur bones.

Jax chose her own outfit- she was happy it "matched."  I mean, what does neon plaid NOT go with, is the question...because it DEFINITELY goes with the new sparkly gold shoes Grandma gave to her.

At last we arrived to find that it was $1 Tuesday.  Score!

Below there was this awesome rain forest exhibit - I think Phillipines.  Or Thailand.  Can't remember.  But you walk in this glass cove and there's rain forest sounds and the glass is so clear, Jackie asked, "Is there glass?" And Hilly was freaked out at first.  Very cool.

There was also this glass ocean floor scene (below) and huge stuffed marlins and stuff.  I was totally into these huge stuffed fish.  The girls weren't that into them.  Maybe they were tired.  Jax's friend Kyle was totally into them, though, which satisfied me.  I mean, these huge fish swim in the ocean that we swim in.  Crazy.

Then we had ice cream sundaes at home to celebrate.

The end.  :)
