Natural History Museum

We have museum free days the 1st Tuesday or Thursday of the month. I couldn't pass up something that was free! So I decided to take Jazelle and Kaleb to The Natural History Museum. Kaleb had school that day so after school we drove to LA. I love to get out and do things with the kids. It was a beautiful sunny California day as usual.

They had an outside Butterfly Garden, the kids were free but I had to pay a couple dollars, and it was worth it. There were tons of Butterflies flying around and landing right in front of you! We weren't allowed to touch them, but were very tempted. Jazelle was destined to pick one up, but they flew away so fast and startled her. :)





There were tons of different kind of butterflies. We learned that if they land and you shade them they will fly away because they are trying to warm up in the sun. It was a great experiment.




Inside the Museum we saw the Dinosaur bones, ate lunch, and visited they children's section.
They had a show and tell show where there were some interesting insects, Kaleb was not afraid to touch.

Kaleb and Jazelle got to dig for Dinosaur bones as well.



This was a new exhibit.
The Finned Whale.
