Denver Museum with the Wilson boys

While Emily was in Nebraska for spring break Joe, Samantha and me decided to round up the Wilson boys and head to the museum...Here is our day...First stop- THE SPACE Exhibit. This exhibit had something to do with heat and infrared light.


Why they were showing their chest hairs I have no idea?





At the sleepover the night before the boys were making prank phone calls and I caught all of them in the act AT THE MUSEUM!!





Even Samantha caved under the peer pressure and made a call of her own!


It wouldn't be a visit to the museum without trying on the mule deer ears.








Those are upside down, Critter.


Testing out who is faster, an antelope or a cheetah?


The cheetah won this round because the naughty cheetah (Tanner) pushed the antelope (Christopher) down. The circle of life. So sad.


This was about lunch time and I was tuckered out




The HEALTH exhibit was interactive. This is the arm span measurement do-hickey. That's Sam.


We're climbing, we're climbing...

We're walking, we're walking, except in Critter's case he danced across the screen. This is me and Sam's walking profile.


Joe and Critter's (notice Critter's dance move)


This was my favorite experiment. It measures your brain waves and the idea was to keep your brain calm and relaxed which would then move the ball. The object was to move the ball to your opponents side first. Tanner and Critter played against each other and Sam and Joe played. Being siblings all four of them kept that ball floating right in between them. Their brain waves measured almost exact! Here is where Christopher pulled ahead.


This is our little dwarf friend that is hidden throughout many of the animal exhibits at the museum. Something I never knew about until Christopher told us! Christopher was in charge of this little guy and had no problem finding him all day. This particular dwarf was hanging out with the dinosaurs. Isn't he precious!




This is Lucy, the scary prehistoric lady. And, this is Christopher about ready to give Joe a "5 star"





Oh my, look how much they have grown!!


End of day and the boys start harassing the geese.


Of course, anyone who lives in Colorado knows that now they have to wash the goose poop off their shoes before they can get in the car.
