Museum Field Trip Day!

We packed up and went on a field trip to the Science museum.  It's been a while since we've gone so the kids were super excited!

Braden and Kinsey studying the rocks and seeing if they could identify them since Braden just did a research paper about them.

WOAH! Look at that giant whale, mommy!

The Klick's came with us too.

We spent a good deal of time in the research room where the kids got their science done for the day! They learned about different animals, sounds, life cycles, pulleys, bones, and a ton more!

lunch break...complete with rock candy

we went to the discovery room after lunch where they did more learning and exploring. there were smelling bottles where the kids would have to guess what was inside (vanilla, coffee, lemon, cinnamon, etc.) 

research topics...i LOVE this room because it has info for kids young and old.

weaving spider webs

Cailey was teaching the little boys about different textures and sea creatures. She's awesome with them!

and stealing some snuggles from Charlotte:)

(along with singing songs and reading books)

we stayed and toured the third and fourth floors too.  there were booths set up with people teaching about types of spiders, bees, and other things.

kinsey had a butterfly land on her leg! they always like to try and identify each butterfly they see.

Krispy Kreme is on the way home so we stopped off so the kids could watch them being made and have a treat. We also picked up heart shaped ones so they could have them for breakfast the next day (Valentine's Day:). 

We had a great day together and it was filled with FUN hands on learning.
