Museum of Natural Science & History

March 2009.

We had planned to visit the North Carolina Zoo. But after checking out the local weather, we decided that it wasn't worth the chance.

.

So we visited the the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and the North Carolina Museum of History instead.

.

Thankfully, we got to share the day with Grandma Ruth Ann,

Aunt Sara and our good friend David.
.

Josh. Teeth. 'nuff said.

.

Christy with a mountain lion.

.

Josh, Christy and Lauren look at the fish with David.

.

Even Justin had a blast!

.

Grandma Ruth Ann, Josh and Christy read about the whale skeleton.

.

We heard a lecture on the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach

- just after lunch.

.

Josh and Christy went forward to look at butterfly samples.
