Majority of the activities were centered around what Jackson and McKay would have fun doing so one day we ended up at the Life and Science Museum. My favorite part had to be the butterfly area. I want a giant garden like that to go and relax in. The insects were really interesting too. We only just through a small portion of it, but what we did see was fun.
First thing we did was ride the train. It was fun, but cold.
Ryann's first train ride.
Jenny, McKay, Grandma and Jackson ready to go on the train.
There were a couple butterflies that kept flying around Ryann's hat when she was near these purple flowers.
Jackson wasn't too thrilled about the butterfly area until he started finding them.
There was an area that had cocoons hung on the twine and they were labeled so that you knew what kind of butterfly would come out. We happened to look right when a butterfly was making its way out of the cocoon. I've labeled it with the arrow, since they all just kind of blend together. It was cool to get to see this.
There were these birds that looked like they had a red fro wandering around the butterfly exhibit.
There is a caterpillar on a tobacco leaf and you can zoom the camera in at move the leaf to watch him eat...and this guy could eat! All the hands on learning was great.
McKay playing in the inventions area. Later we found out it was only for 7 and up, oh well.

McKay feeding Ryann. So sweet:)
