Museum of Nature and Science

We went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science after church on Sunday. It was a nice warm day, not too hot and not too cold. Summer is coming to an end soon and I feel like we spent most of it indoors, sleep deprived. Since Elizabeth is now aware of her surroundings and her awake time is about 10 hours a day, we're trying to fill it with educational or amusing things. So this week's activity was the museum. (We also went to the farmer's market on Saturday, but it got rained out.)

We went through all the exhibits except for the life exhibit. You needed to get another ticket for that and it was sold out, so we'll have to see that one another time. We even watched a short movie in the Planetarium about the origins of the Black Hole. She did well in the theatre even though it was dark. Luckily, it was a documentary, so there were no loud sounds to scare her.

Elizabeth took quite an interest in all the exhibits. She particularly liked the gemstone and animal exhibits. Must get those genes from her Mama. She was probably wondering why the animals weren't moving, like the ones we have at home. The dinosaur exhibit was a really large one filled with many people and I think she spent more time people watching than fossil watching.

Afterwards, we played at the park outside the museum for a bit. The museum is in Denver's City Park, our version of New York's Central Park. Our Denver Zoo is also in the City Park and we hope to visit it soon before the Summer ends. -S
