NC Museum of Life & Science...

We made a trip to the NC Museum of Life & Science in Durham this week. Wow has that place changed since I went in elementary school!! What a wonderful place!!

Ivy checking out some bones - this table was for comparing human bones with cow bones...

Checking out the ants...

More bones - these were real skulls from things like a pig, a baboon, etc.

They had a play area for kids under 6 - here is Ivy climbing on the rock wall...

Same play area - dropping a ball into these racks. The ball would keep rolling and end up in a box at the end.

They had some outdoor animal exhibits. This is a turkey and it was part of the farm section...

And they have a butterfly house. It was very fun and Ivy loved it. She kept talking about the butterflies landing on her (she would hold her arms out and be real still) but when we actually got there if a butterfly came near her she backed up and wiggled her arms a little bit. This is as close as she would get (because I made her for the picture!!).
