Wow...what a day we've had! Today was our trip to the city with the ten little ones and since they don't get too many opportunities to leave the house, it was a pretty exciting day for them. We started our adventure at a museum where the kids were mesmerized by the three caged monkeys near the entrance. They were even more impressed when we went inside and saw over 50 different species of birds and other wildlife as well as a collection of insects, geodes, dinosaur bones, and a 7m python skin! Although it was a display of stuffed animals, the kids kept asking us if they were alive. We explained that they had been alive at one time but that they had died and someone had preserved them so that we could see them. This was a difficult concept for some of them to understand!
