Denver Museum of Nature and Science

Way back on February 2 we went to the Free Day at the Denver Msueum of Nature and Science. The boys had a blast. I was surprised how fascinated Matthew was with the space exhibit. He would gladly have stayed in there for the whole visit. We definitely need to get back there.

They wouldn't let me stay in the large animal rooms. They were kind of bored. So we moved right along to the Discovery Room.

Matthew loved, loved, loved the science experiments on atmospheric pressure. The presenter was explaining why Astronauts have to wear space suits. He put a marshmallow, then a cup of water, and then a snack cake inside the dome and removed all the air with a suction tube hooked to a electric pump. It was fun to see Matthew's attention so completely captured by what happened. Matthew even suggested some experiments to try and the presenter enthusiastically tried them - so fun to watch.

A guy was walking around with a styrofoam dinasaur pretending to bite the kids heads.

So excited in the gem room.

Prehistoric journey was the last stop. Matthew liked the dinasaur egg.

And the visit woulnd't have been complete without seeing T-Rex!!
