Science Museum

Today Mom and I went to the Science Museum with Andrew and Phoebe and Andrew's mom (Melissa). I had lots of fun exploring the dinos, space, weather and towboat sections of the museum. I really liked the towboat - we all got to climb up into the boat and see the (frozen) Mississippi River from our vantage point on the captain's deck. It was so cool I can't stop talking about it.

Inside the dino's tummy - this is the size of a vegetarian dinosaur's digestive system! (or a fun tunnel to climb through).

On the "Dino phone" - the dino was talking to me! (Really it was a scientist explaining historic stuff but Sammy was convinced you could pick up the phone and talk to the dinosaur). Stegosaurus bone replica to the left. Pretty cool stuff.

Checking out the Earth's rotation. "Where's the Moon?"

Playing a one-string cello to learn about sound waves. Fun fun fun!

Playing the piano and "learning" about frequency, sound waves, and how music and sound are mathematical.

Checking out the water wheel in the weather exhibit. I got my sleeves all wet but this was so fun!
