Trip to The Museum


Today we decided to go to the American Museum of Natural History at the last minute.
The city was crowded today so we had to beg and plead the parking garage to fit just one more car in the lot.
We were excited to take the kids to the Butterfly Exhibit and the Planetarium. We thought Zachary would love this since he is very visual and loves stars and bugs.
Sydnie couldn't wait to see the butterflies. They really enjoyed seeing all the animals and of course the dinosaur bones. Zachary really loved the big elephants in the African Animal exhibit.
What did surprise us was once we were in the planetarium Zachary became figity. When the show started he said "Look at all the stars". The name of the show was Cosmic Collisions so the next thing that happened was a big asteroid crashed into the earth. I was shocked that Zachary was scared. The child fears nothing but the asteriod crash really spooked him.

What also shocked us was the Zachary was afraid of the butterflies. My child who loves to chase bees and try and squish them was squimish about a butterfly landing on him.

Zachary you are full of surprises.
