Museum fun for the week

Because of Election Day, Grace didn't have preschool on Tuesday. It was a rainy, cold day so we met the Andersons at The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. It is such a wonderful place and the kids had a blast. We ate lunch, saw lots of spiders, snakes, turtles and fish. We visited the butterflies and got to see a sleeping sloth. Isaac loved being like the big kids who were able to walk about with a little freedom. Below is a picture of Grace and Caleb in a tree that is home to some sleeping bats.
On Friday we headed to the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science. It is more like a small zoo. Grace usually has dance on Fridays, but with 75 degree weather on November 7th we took advantage of our good fortune and spent the time outside. We met our good friends Stacey and Hampton at the Museum. It was their first visit so we showed them the ropes. Isaac and Hampton are in the same preschool class- but they are not dating. Here, Isaac plays in a HUGE sandbox. He was in Heaven!

Grace listens to the different noises the pipes make as the wind blows through them.

Isaac and Hampton can only be photographed together when strapped into their strollers.

Grace and Hampton discuss sharing bows.
