Academy of Sciences

On the last Sunday of July, we decided to use our Academy of Sciences membership for the last time before it expired. We began our morning with a walk for the dog. Fiona likes to be in charge of him, just as Lily did at this age. She gets his leash a lot. She also holds her finger up and tells him to sit in her own language just like she sees us do. Unfortunately, every time I get out the video camera to capture this cuteness, she refuses to do it again.




When we first got inside, we learned that it was Cat in the Hat weekend at the Academy. Lily had her picture taken with him and then we did a little scavenger hunt to earn a Cat in the Hat book.


 Our next stop was looking down into the water of one of the aquariums and noticing that you could see down to a viewing spot under the water. We realized it was the children's eel garden so Lily and I went down while Daddy and Fi stayed up. This is a picture of the two of them from inside the eel garden.
Here is a picture of Lily that Daddy took from up above.
After that we went downstairs to look at the fish tanks and have a snack.


We ended our visit with a trip into the rainforest dome and the butterflies. It was a nice day at the museum.
