Science Museum Field Trip--May 16, 2011

We went to the Science Museum of MN for a home school field trip. We saw the King Tut exhibit while we were there. They didn't allow us to take any pictures in the exhibit, but seeing as I hardly ever take pictures this was fine with me. ;-) The kids seemed to enjoy the trip. I know they liked the musical staircase. Beth and I liked the broadcast booth ☺ except that the kids kept speeding up the teleprompter. After the museum we headed over to the Mall of America.

This chair was huge! You were supposed to figure out how many times bigger all the furniture was versus the scale model. Yeah, I decided it was a great photo opportunity.

There was a mirror across from the chair. I was trying to snap a pic of the reflection. As you can see it didn't work the best.

Thankfully Beth jumped in and got an actual picture. Paige was not in the picture because she was over at the chemistry counter, learning about water.

Oh my word! This picture made me laugh so hard! My nephew Casey was trying on glasses that supposedly showed you how a newborn baby sees. His eyes were so huge from the magnification that I had to get a picture of him!

Beth took a picture of me at the music station.

Beth also got this picture of the kids and I participating in a lab. The kids were looking at their cheek cells under a microscope.

At the Mall of America we were looking for Angry Birds shirts, and we stopped at this t-shirt shop. There was a cardboard cut-out of Justin Bieber at the entrance, and Beth and Paige playfully posed by him. ☺
