There was talk in Daniel's boy scout troop of the annual "Sleeping with the Dinosaurs" at the Science Museum of Minnesota. We had gone the last two years and had a great time. Daniel and I discovered that we could go again even though he wasn't in Cub Scouts anymore - we just had to pay our own way. No problem! We had so much fun that we decided to go anyway! It was a pretty good sized group this year and luckily Lori offered to drive. We did get just a little bit lost but we blame the event that was going on at the Excel center and the confusing parking attendant.
The King Tut exhibit had just opened at the museum and I paid the extra fee so Daniel and I could go in. It was very cool - the science museum does an amazing job with those types of exhibits and we were glad we went. Of course Daniel was in a rush to get to the next room in the exhibit but I made him slow down and read each and every card that was there. Lots of gold and amazing workmanship in the jewelry. Very fine beads and gold threads. The carvings in the wood and the gold were so intrique - hard to believe they did this without the aid of modern technology.
Of course, no cameras were allowed into the exhibit so I had to settle for pictures on the outside. And no, Daniel isn't taller than I am. I must be standing in a hole. :-)
Doing some weaving.
Doing an egyptian puzzle.
Daniel and the customary dinosaur picture!
Usually we see this science museum employee do the cryogenics demo but this time we got the fire guy. Very cool.
He did bubbles too.
And more fire. It was really inspiring.
And Lori and Jeff. Fun for Daniel and fun for me! She did a great job driving in the snow and slippery crap on the way up and a great job of not falling asleep on the drive home! Thanks, Lori!
