MUSEUM OF NATURAL SCIENCE

Today we decided to go to the museum of Natural Science in the museum district of Houston.
We have heard from our friend, Stephanie who just went how wonderful it is.
We learned so many wonderful new things. We got to experiment with science. Ricky was chosen as a volunteer to help out with a science presentation. We saw dinosaur skeletons. Which amazed me. Hard to imagine something so big roaming the Earth. We learned about the Indians. Which was very interesting. They had so much respect for the land and animals and they're people. They didn't destroy everything like we do today nor kill so many animals. They only killed what they needed and used. In which they also shared with their community. Very uncommon these days. They learned how to use every part. An interesting trivia I learned that a woman in one tribe was known for her social status by how good she was in cleaning, crafting, cooking etc.... Lets just say I would be very low on the social status ladder. One thing is for sure they all worked extremely hard.
Another favorite exhibit was the butterfly exhibit. You got to go into this beautiful tropical enclosure with 100s of butterflies flying around. All the butterflies are beautiful but there were some more beautiful than others. If you got lucky they would land on you.
Another exhibit they had was about insects. I can not believe how big some insects get!! If one of those flew past me I would literally have a heart attack. There were some roaches, that were so big I thought they were replicas. Than they started moving. It was gross and mesmerizing at the same time. Lets just say they were so big that they had a bowl of cat/dog food out for them. Insane!!
I did find out that roaches are very big on their hygiene. Go figure?!?!
It was a great day. We had a great family day and at the same time learned a lot.
