Jacksonville Museum of Science & History

Today we visited the Jackonsville Museum of Science & History (MOSH) with our friends, the Jacksons. We toured almost the entire museum. Some of our favorite spots were Kidspace, where the boys played at the water table while the girls played in the tree; the Planetarium, where "Sol" the sun talked to us (Landon was so cute; he just kept pointing and laughing when he saw "Sol") and we learned a little about our solar system. At one point during the show Jonathan leaned over to me and asked, "Why is the sun talking to us? The sun doesn't talk." There were some mixed emotions about the Giant Insects exhibit, all of the kids thought the huge bugs were cool, but they didn't want to get too close when the bugs started moving.


It was a great day, made even better by sharing it with friends.



Here is a picture of Landon and Jonathan playing at the water table. Jonathan enjoyed building dams while Landon enjoyed trying to drink the water.


Here is a picture of the girls (Ellie, Jocelyn and Lauren) playing up in the tree. Lauren loves playing with her girlfriends!


Here is a picture of the Praying Mantis. Marissa tried to get a group picture, but once it started moving no one was going to get near it.
