New Museum Exhibit

We hadn't been to the Children's Museum in several months, so we decided to go and check out the new Treasures of the Earth exhibit they have. It's pretty cool and the kids loved it. Here they are tunneling through rocks of an ancient tomb...

Anna with some hieroglyphics.

Then it was time to put on our dive gear and go exploring in the ocean deep.

Benjamin was so serious measuring all of his finds.

Anna cracks me up! Every time I would take her picture, she would hold her breath like this. 

Even Collin got in on the fun!

After taking his dive gear off, Benjamin enjoyed putting together pieces of a plate from a shipwreck.

Then it was time for them to get their digging tools out and try to excavate pieces of Terra Cotta Warriors in China.

Anna was concerned that this warrior's head was missing.

Then they had fun putting the warrior pieces together.

Little Collin with the warriors.

Warriors Benjamin and Anna.

Collin was super tired on the way back to the car and had quite the meltdown. I picked up some rock candy suckers for the kids at the gift shop and finally got him calmed down to enjoy his on the way home. The poor little monkey was so wiped out that he fell asleep after just a few minutes....

That morning we also had Collin's two year pictures taken. He did such a great job! (I didn't buy enough to get the CD, so these are just pictures of the pictures we did buy.)

Two year collage we bought.

Our favorite!
