Museum Experience

We took the kids to the Houston Natural Science Museum yesterday.  We originally went because there was a Texas exhibit we wanted to see.  Taking the kids to the Texas exhibit was not a smart move.  The 5, 3 and 1 year olds don't really understand the deep history and cool artifacts from our state's birth.  Besides Jackson seemingly having ants in his pants, Matthew decided that he'd practice his a-sounds as loud as possible while we were trying to quickly get through the exhibit. I'm sure the other patrons were thrilled.  Finally, I called it a loss and took Jackson and Matthew out.  Darren finished his quick tour with Alyssa in tow.

Jackson was much more enamored with the Africa animal exhibit they had just outside of the Texas exhibit. 

Jackson was very interested in
the partially 'eaten' zebra leg

The Africa animal exhibit, the 3 dinosaur skeletons on display, and the hands on chemistry area saved the museum experience for the kids.  So, even though different than we expected, it was a good day.  I hope my folks get a chance to visit the Texas exhibit...what we saw of it was neat!

Matthew had no idea what any of it was,
but he loved it all!
