Pacific Science Museum

This morning I took the kiddos to the Pacific Science Museum. I bought an annual pass several weeks ago, so it is fun to be able to go there more often. The kids love it, and it gives them good exposure to things like our solar system, reptiles, dinosaurs, etc. Hailey is still sheepish about the big dinosaurs that move automatically. But the kids' favorite thing is the Butterfly house, where you can walk through and see lots of butterflies.

We also went to a Science Show where we learned about dry ice and really cold nitrogen, and watched many things freeze really quickly. Oh, fun. Greta's favorite thing was watching this cute little orange snake pop his head out of the log. She watched that forever. Drew's favorite thing, of course, was driving the toy car in the toddler play area!

Andrew's question about the bugs, and specifically about the beetle: "Mom, is the beetle made out of Volkswagen Beetles?" HA! That boy NEVER stops thinking about cars!
