Dallas Museum of Nature and Science

This past weekend we went to Dallas and visited the Museum of Nature and Science. There was too much there to see in just one day, but we got to do a lot of it. First we went to their special exhibit called 'The Science of Spying.' They got to dress up in disguises, practice spy skills, and test out the latest spy technology. Here's Shaun in his best 007 pose:
Jacob figured out how to decode the secret messages much quicker than I did...
Here's Jeremy trying to figure out whether or not Shaun is lying, by looking for body language clues.

Here the little ones had fun lighting up giant keys that played sounds to make a morse code.




In this booth they got to hack into the enemy's internet and find information.

After finishing their 'spy training,' we went on to the Fossil dig, which was Alaina's favorite. She would probably have been just as happy with a sandbox, really. Simple things are always the little ones' favorites.

Our last stop was in the Physical science room, where the kids (and the big kids) got to make the coolest huge bubbles! This was so fun!
