History and Science Museums

First we visited the Museum of History. Everyone found something they really liked. The boys all liked the NC Sports Hall of Fame (located in our local museum).

Jeremiah especially liked the race car paraphenalia.



The new Duck Exhibit is all about the history of duck hunting. It was really neat. Leon and Zerrick discovered the duck hunt game. We couldn't tare them away from it.



Then we had lunch at the old capitol building. The weather could not have been any nicer. Seriously.



Jeremiah sized cannons.



My mandatory picture of the day:

Now! On to the Science Museum!







Ishmael really liked the Discovery Room. They let him hold bess beatles, earth worms, and look at frog x-rays. He was in his element here.



What you can't see here is that their are "animal tracks" on the floor. The kids would try to guess who the tracks came from and then follow the tracks to the animal on display (snakes, birds, beavers, deer, etc). They loved it!





I lied. I made all the kids stand in for one more shot.
