The Museum of Natural History is a short 5 minute drive from our house. We arrived there early on Sunday morning in an attempt to beat the crowd and it worked. There were beautiful displays of meteorites and crystals in the Treasures from the Earth's Interior exhibition. The kids enjoyed the hands-on activities in the Human Body exhibit, and were beguiled by the realistic baby dinosaur sleeping in it's nest in the dinosaur display. Renee was thrilled to see the polar bear and Didi enjoyed the movie about climate change. The girls learned an embarassing lesson when they mistakenly pushed a help button in the handicap washroom believing it to be a light switch. They accidently summoned a guard who burst in upon them and Didi, and who then turned a brilliant shade of red and backed out of the room apologizing but explaining that they had pushed the button! That is two bathroom incidents in as many days!
We gladly headed to the car that afternoon, our feet sore from two days of touring.
