Science Museum

We tried the beat the winter blahs today with breakfast out (IHOP - everyone's favorite!) and a trip to the Museum of Science. This is one of the museums in Boston that we haven't been to as often as others, but I think we need to change that. Henry is definitely at an age that makes this museum a perfect visit for him.

We learned about electricity:




Henry sat in a space shuttle:


We watched a 3D movie on dinosaurs (A touch scary for him, but he made it through!):




WE did a lot of physics experiments:



And marveled at the dinosaur exhibit:






(I'm not sure how scientifically accurate the scarf on the T Rex is...)

We also took a trip to the indoor butterfluy exhibit, which Henry really enjoyed (and he had a butterfly land on his head!)









Warm and humid for the butterfly inside - frozen Charles River outside:


We only saw a tiny part of the museum today, so we will definitely need to go back soon!
