A Day at the Museum

On Thursday we did some more "around town vacationing".  We spent the day at Tellus museum in Cartersville.  I had been several time on field trips with Abby and Noah but James and Emma had never been.  It had changed a lot since Abby had been as well.  It really is a very cool place!
Noah was in" Heaven" in the history of movement area!  His life long dream is to build the Wright Flyer so when he saw this replica he had the biggest smile on his face!
He also had fun looking at all the other airplanes and space ships.  Emma loved getting to be an astronaut!





The kids also got to dig for fossils and pan for gems!





Emma was working so hard!
After they were done getting their treasures we headed into the dinosaur area!  WOW is all I can say!
I had forgotten how fun it was to see all these massive animals!

Emma and Noah were so funny when the saw this "Touch if You Dare".  They of course had to touch it.
Can you guess what it is?



That's right, dinosaur poop!  Abby and I were grossed out!  No touching for us!!
We looked around some more at all of the amazing bones and fossils!




She REALLY looks like she is having fun!! 
We grabbed some lunch at the cafe and headed into the funnest part of the museum!

The Collins Family Big Backyard.



It was a hands on area and we ALL had fun!  We got to play with light, sound, magnets, mirrors and a whole lot more!

We ended our time at Tellus with a show at the planetarium.  We learned about the stars in the night skies.  It was really neat.  Emma was able to pick out Oryans belt all by herself!  We of course had to visit the gift shop!
We headed towards home and decided to have "breakfast for dinner" at one of my favorite places,
Everyone had breakfast except for James.  He had Thanksgiving dinner,turkey and stuffing!
