Cheap fun Friday at the Natural History Museum

The first Friday of the month is free at our local Natural History Museum, so we went!

It’s a small musuem, but good enough for an hour’s worth of fun. We saw a busy beehive, a lot of stuffed animals (Cameron especially liked looking at the coyotes), and some fossils, including sharks teeth. Cameron liked digging for the mastadon bones.

There was also a touch pool with sea stars, sea anemones, sea snails, hermit crabs, sea lettuce. Cameron was more into it than Dylan! She touched a sea anemone to make it close up whereas Dylan didn’t even want to try!

It was a nice mellow activity that wasn’t too long and we really needed something like that on the heels of so many long days (including July 4th)! Cameron’s molar was breaking through, too, and she just hasn’t been up for very much.
