It's Not That Easy Being Green . . . Or Red . . . Or Blue . ..

The first Monday of every month is free family day at the Museum of Natural History so for family home evening we hauled our boys out to see the wonders of nature. The special exhibit right now is frogs and let me tell you, there were some strange looking frogs. You know those frogs that get smashed flat by a car and then bake in the sun until they take on the aerodynamic qualities of a frisbee? We saw a tank full of things that looked just like that . . . until they moved. Creepiest looking frogs ever.

But Nathan thought they were cool anyway.

Matthew discovered that his good pal Kermit was at the exhibit, so after chattin' him up, he attempted to get Kermit out.

There were some fun props that the boys enjoyed climbing on.

Even Matthew cooperated long enough for us to snap a few pics.

There was also an exhibit of bugs which included lots of creepy, crawly goodness. Daniel was kind enough to cry out, "No, no, no, Mom! Don't see this!" just before I rounded the corner into the spider section. Good boy. Knows his mom. I sat on the bench and waited until they came around the next corner. We also spent a few minutes looking at the dinosaurs and the rocks and had to promise Daniel we would come back so he wouldn't break down when it was time to leave. So on the first Monday in September, when the boys just happen to be off track, I imagine we'll be headed back to the museum to spend some quality time with the dinosaurs.
