Saturday in Houston

On Saturday, we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

We got to see dinosaur bones and some dinosaur displays.

 
In the chemistry section, there was a wall of the periodic table of elements.  Within each square was an example of that element. 
Of course, there was nothing in the radioactive ones!

Anytime there’s a map the boys have to check it out!
 
This pendulum was one of the neatest attractions.
 
It hung from a 60 foot cable from the top of the ceiling.
 
It only knocked down one pin while we were watching.

There were also some taxidermy displays.

This little guy was cute.  I said he was a cajun racoon…but the more I think about it…he would just be called a “coonass”….pardon my french!

They also had a section dedicated to malacology…which is the study of mollusks.

This is the world’s largest snail shell.

After we left the museum, we walked toward the reflecting pond at Hermann Memorial Park.

When we got back to Uncle Lee & Aunt Lauren’s, baby Grace was all snuggled up in her car seat sleeping…so cute!
