science museum

We ventured up to the Boston Science Museum this weekend. The museum is huge and it was packed with people (who mostly wanted to see the special Harry Potter exhibit given their scarf choices), and we managed to see a pretty good amount of it in about four hours although not all.

Some of the memorable bits:

- The big T-Rex you can see through the window before you actually enter the museum got Aiden very excited to follow the green line to the entrance.

- They had a "sneaking" chamber where you slink along pretending that you are creeping up on a bird, if you creep too quickly or too loudly you don't get to see which animal is hiding. We snuck up as a family, and it's funny to think that we'd actually be able to sneak up like that in the woods.

- I asked Aiden what he liked the most when we got in the car and he said "the good foods" because he was very happy with his baked mac and cheese for lunch.

- My favorite was watching Aiden's reaction to the light shadows and his attempt at break dancing like the kids before him...and watching him try to make a face with the peg board.

P.S. Happy 30th Jess! I hope this year is a good one - welcoming a new family member is bound to make it fun!
