Dinosaurs, Spiders, and Reptiles

I took Myles and Isla to the Natural History Museum on Sunday. We visited the Dinosaur show, where Myles got to see Tyrannosaurus Rex live and in action - very cool.  It also was reptile appreciation day (what day isn't, right?) and the atrium was filled with live reptiles - snakes, crocodiles, lizards and frogs.  Myles thought this was pretty cool.  And to top it off, we visited the spider pavillion - a seasonal exhibition with live and free spiders roaming around a special enclosure with you.  Yikes! Myles (and Mommy, too!) was kind of freaked out by these, even though they were all non poisonous. Some of them were as big as your hand. Eeek.  Well worth a visit with kids. To top it off, we had a nice picnic before heading home.  A fun day!

T-Rex! Dead and "alive"!


















Reptile Appreciation!

  














Spiders!














The orange blob behind the bench is a BIG spider!|

Spider to the right of us! Isla looks interested, Myles wants to run. LOL

 

Spider food, awwww.... (left over from the butterfly exhibition...)

Reptiles and spiders oh my. Were you inside the enclosure? Looks like the kids really enjoyed it too. Where did you find the dinosaurs?
