Field Museum (a walk + El train + a walk!)
I could have sworn that the Norwegian way to pronounce Vikings was with a "W" sound rather than an English 'V'. Google isn't helping prove this. It doesn't sound very viking-y when its wi-king. We didn't actually go to that exhibit...but whattaya gonna do? As Mike said "the banner is where the entrance is" Life lesson number 263 I guess.
We did see one of it's more famous inhabitants - Sue! So named for the archeologist that found her in South Dakota. And as captured in the above photo, someone had to stay close to Dad to get that close to Sue.
Zoe's a loon lover.
Good thing we live in Minnesota.
Owls! Mr. Science loves owls
(and owl pellet investigation, if you remember from earlier this school year)
Last time we were this close to a peacock we were at the Brookfield Zoo
(and it was proclaiming its glory)
"I wish my middle name was Zebra," said Zoe.
She did, she really said that.
One of the things we learned this year: An Emperor Penguin can be as big as a kindergartner. And based on their response, seeing wasn't believing ;)
Based on a quick google search to make sure I had the right type of penguin they can be bigger than your typical kindergartner.
So much to see and inspect!
No, she can't make a pyramid, even with some help.
"Yeah! Mummies!"....."No! I don't want to see mummies!"
Can I tell you Zoe wasn't very excited or even mildly okay with being in the Mummy area of the museum? Freaks her out. And honestly it is a rather odd thing to peer at the wrapped up remains of someone under glass in a museum. But it's fascinating still.
Standing in the footprint of a dinosaur. Not TOGETHER, mind you...
