Second field trip to San Francisco

So a couple weekends ago we visited the new museum in Golden Gate Park.(the actual name of the museum is escaping me at the moment) Todd received the tickets as a gift through work, so we were very excited to visit and let the kids explore. This place was awesome and had so many great things to offer. Huge aquarium, multiple story rain forest, planetarium, and great exhibits. Our kids lasted about two hours, so we did what we could. We would love to go back one day when Lilly and Drew are older and have an attention span longer than two hyper puppies.

I apologize for the lack of faces in the pictures...there was too many things to look at to get the kids to stop and look at the camera.

Lilly noticed many of the animals in the glass cases did not seem to move. This pattern continued from case to case....but she still wanted to get a close look at all of them.


Casey and Lilly...an attempt at some faces in a picture


But as you see...there was just a lot of this going on.


This exhibit was the kids favorite. It was an interactive "game" where bugs and centipedes were crawling all over the ground(which was a giant computer screen) and the kids just loved finding them and chasing them. My kids figured out quickly that other kids were stomping on the bugs, and that's when Lilly and Drew's strategy changed.

Lilly was surprisingly very patient for the bugs to crawl from beneath the leaves.


Drew walked around yelling, "I did it" every time he stepped on a bug. You can tell he was very proud of himself.
