Night at The Museum

Last Saturday was National Museum day and the Smithsonian Institute was sponsoring free admission to various museums around the country. Here in town there were not many choices, but one of the choices was a wildlife museum. Big B called it more like a glorified hunting lodge. Therewere all kinds of real "stuffed" animals on display, as well as some fun interactive exhibits for the kids. The cool thing was that on the "free" admissions day the wildlife museum was doing their once a month "Night at The Museum" where they turn down the lights and let the kids explore the museum with flashlights! Big B earned some brownie points by taking the kiddos while I was at the RS broadcast. Mr.C's favorite animal was the Woolly Mammoth and elephant bones, which he was convinced were dinosaur bones. Most of the pictures are blurry....because of the lack of light and Mr. C shinning his little flashlight directly at the camera....but this one turned out...although it is not that exciting of an exhibit. Especially considering that we saw a real live rattlesnake last night while at Nonny and Poppy's house....it was climbing up their front steps....daddy almost stepped on it!! Mr. C was TOTALLY into the museum....a little too excited....running from exhibit to exhibit! Sweet E as seen in the picture above was a little more hesitant....but Big B says she still had fun....especially if he held her while they explored. I am glad that the family got to go do something FUN while I was busy! And who can beat FREE!?!
