Natural History Museum

For preschool a couple weeks ago, Kelsey got to go to the Natural History Museum with lunch at the park afterward. What I love about the preschool she's in, any extra activities that are scheduled, Katelyn gets to tag along. So while I'm not sure if Kelsey loves it, it makes Katelyn feel so big. All her other preschool classes come too, so it's totally crazy chaos and so much fun. The more the merrier. Kelsey brought her camera so most of the pictures are compliments of her since she wouldn't relinquish it to me the take any.

The first room they went into and actually got to touch these bears. Katelyn didn't believe at first they weren't going to move or jump out and get her!! But she eventually warmed up to the idea. And then she couldn't get enough.

Then it was off the Africa room and with this display you could push a button to make the lions roar. With Bass Pro Shops in town and one we visit frequently this was child's play for the girls and they weren't afraid at all.

We then moved over to the dinosaur room and all the kids were so amazed at this sight. Wow, that's a lot of kids. And Katelyn on the far left in the pink, sat right down with the rest of them!!

These 2 were the most impressive for the kids. And once they found the button to activate the Tyrannasaurus Rex, they couldn't get enough!!

How 'bout that for a class picture!!

The last room we visited was the aquarium. This was a small tank with 3-5 of each of these just swimming around. I think this was the highlight of the whole trip for everyone. Then it was off to the park for some serious energy release. What a great field trip!!
