Life and Science Museum :)

Today we invited our friends Miss Andrea and little Natalee to go to Durham's Life and Science Museum with us. The girls had so much fun exploring EVERYTHING! Here they are exploring the tunnels in the "mist" section.

 This is a really cool little hut made out of branches. The window is an awesome overlook into the woods.

 The girls were dancing. :) I was singing if your happy and you know it. hehe.

They were trying to figure out how to climb the hill that goes over the tunnels. This museum is so great because the girls will grow into it. I can imagine them in a couple years climbing all over the hill.... for today they just stared at it with wonder.

The corn field path. Grace loves running down it, until she gets to the end where the mist is. Then she freezes! She is still a little freaked out by the mist.

 The start of one of the tunnels. They did such a great job mixing natural in with incredibly fascinating!

 Grace running back to show me the mist. She really didn't like when it got heavy and she couldn't see anything. Understandable for a toddler with control issues.... :)

 This was the closest she got to the mist, and you can see she is running to me.

She made it out! Natalee did a great job in the mist and loved walking into it and using her hand to swish it around.

G sitting and watching the mist.... gotta check that stuff out, it's just so weird. hehe

 We moved on the bird viewing observatory. Not sure the girls would get this area. Grace loved climbing on all the chairs... but we did actually see a couple birds and squirrels, and they seemed to notice them.

 And back to the butterfly house. We love this place, it's just so tropical and exciting.

 This huge butterfly was coming out of its chrysalis, it was SO BIG!

 The girls were viewing the butterflies as they emerged. Several of them were coming out!

 As many times as we have been here and Grace decides today she is obsessed with the fish!!

Good bye butterfly house, hello farm animals. It was a bit cooler of a day and the animals were out and very active which was really neat. Two bunnies were out and Grace loved watching them.

Of course we love the strangest duck I have ever seen. The sign says duck but it sure is odd looking. Grace doesn't seem to notice any difference.

On our way out of the Museum the girls stopped to do some drumming! I love how Grace knows where the drum sticks go and puts them back when she is done. This girl amazes me. :)

So much fun today! Thanks Andrea and Natalee for going with us.
