ABQ Natural History Museum

I'm finally getting our trip to the Natural History Museum posted. We've been busy around the ranch and have also started our homeschooling schedule. And along with guitar lessons, band practices, and a U.S Presidential Civics Class we have very busy weeks now.

But while John and the terrific twins were in Maryland, Jenna and I went to the museum for a few hours. She had been begging to go see the dinosaurs and bones. So, as you can imagine she was very excited!

Look Mama! Dinosaur Bones! Lot of bones! She finds bones, skeletons, skulls and animals and dinosaurs fascinating.Wow. So Big!These eggs are much bigger than our chicken's eggs!Jenna asked me to take a picture of this T-Rex skull.We both found walking through the volcano kind of fun, although a little spooky. The museum pipes in smoke and a burning smell, and the walkway is plexiglass over 'flowing red lava'. I wonder when the next big U.S volcano eruption will be?Whenever we visit Explora Science Center, next door, we have to always stop by and visit Spike. Jenna is very fond of him.She's not as fond of Alberta, probably because she can't even see her face up close. But she is pretty impressed by her.I don't usually buy anything from the gift store, but Jenna saw some tiny plastic animals she was interested in. And I just fell in love with this book and thought it would make a wonderful addition to our homeschool library.
