Museum Fun

My sister-n-law heard about a great free event at the Skirball Cultural Center in LA. It's a hands on interactive Noah's Ark exhibit. She reserved us some tickets and we headed down there last Thursday. (I have not done that drive into LA for quite some time and don't really want to do it again anytime soon. But now have a greater appreciation for having two temples that are much closer than LA. I'm not sure if I could do that drive every month.) On our way to the museum I drove by the LA Temple so that Charles could see where Mommy and Daddy were married. He LOVED it! And was very excited to see it. (Madison was sleeping)
Once we got the museum and met up the my sister-n-laws and their kids we went into the exhibit and the kids had a great time. There was something for each of them to do. The whole exhibit was made of recycled materials. They enjoyed all the different parts of the ark. Madison especially loved the animals and the music time. They only let so many people in at a time and you have a 2 hour window of time to play and then you need to let the next group in. While the kids were playing they gathered them together and did a music time. Each kid got an instrument to play. It was great!
We we were done with the Noah's ark section we went outside and the kids got to play in the rainbow misters. The way the misters are set up if you look at it just right you will see rainbows in the water. It was the perfect way to end a fun day!
