An afternoon at the Perot Museum of Nature and Science


Over the last two years that we have had a membership, we have gone many many times but I don't always have my camera with me. Today I chose to take pictures to capture part of what we do. We can't seem to go and spend less than 3-5 hours here when we go and we never see all the exhibits in one visit. Somehow it never gets old.



Landon's favorite part was the rock with the bioluminescent properties. He enjoyed watching the lights go on and off and seeing the rock glow.




Ethan, you were in awe with all of it. Last year it was the space exhibit that you would eagerly run to and spend all your time. This year, its the gemstones and minerals.



We spent an hour just in the gemstone section this time. We didn't even make it to the other exhibits on this floor before it was time to go see the special exhibit that we had tickets for. Nature's Bioluminescence.

Another favorite part of the museum is the Children's section. We will typically spend an hour here as well and not play at every section. Today, Ethan spent a good part of his time at the pretend grocery store making a healthy cookie made from vegetables. We also did some veggie math. ;-)





Landon spent the majority of his time at the water table experimenting with the pipes.



We always spend part of our time at the mini city of Dallas section with the construction blocks too.


After playing we headed outside to have our picnic lunch and play on the frogs.






After lunch it was time to see the Dinosaurs! Landon's request.








A quick trip up to the bird floor and Mom and Dad were ready to go. Boys still wanted to explore the robot floor and do the dinosaur dig but at 5 hours in we were ready to head home. Next time boys!
