Behind the Scenes

I'm not sure that I'm doing the best pr job with Kate about the amazing Museum that she is growing up in. (Is that grammatically correct even?)I'm not sure that kate really appreciates the amazing access that she has to this world class Museum. That says it better. so I scheduled Kate and Lile for a full day of behind the scenes stuff here at the Museum beginning with a trip to the frozen tissue lab. It was a wonderfully entertaining science lesson which both girls loved. After aimlessly playing in one of the back allies of the Museum, I figured out that the bone guy was among the mission so instead we had an early lunch of yummy fried things and then went on to feed the giant tortoises and hold a snake. They held a snake. Time for them to tour three galleries including Gems and Minerals, Hall of Human Origins, Hall of Meteorites on their own and then off to the Exhibition department to see what kinds of things are being produced for the November Silk Road Show. They both had a chance to help sculpt the camel which was exquisite fun for both of them.

Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
