Night at the Museum

We recently enjoyed an evening at the museum. It was opened specifically for educators with the NHA (National Heritage Academy).

First, we went to the Planetarium...and loved it.

Then we checked out some other exhibits.

Claire was a bit nervous on the carousel at first, but warmed up to it soon enough.

Perhaps her favorite feature of the museum was this model car that she couldn't get enough of.

Now, a brief quiz to see how closely you all looked at the pictures...

Did you notice what Claire was holding in her hand in 4 of the 5 pictures?

Yes, that is correct -- a plastic spoon.

One of Claire's endearing quirks. She loves to carry around her "poon" with her as often as possible. In fact, it's often the first word out of her mouth when she wakes up in the morning. She'd prefer her "pen", but I get too nervous watching her run around with that, so she has learned to settle for second best.
