They had a Shipwreck! exhibit of treasure and materials recovered from the depths of the sea, so that was really neat. Jacob's favorite were the coins, it was amazing to see such old coins in mint condition. If you get a chance to check this out, it is interesting for adults and older kids but it did not hold C's attention as much.
We also took in a Planetarium show of the night sky which was interesting to the boys and highlighted constellations to look for.
We found a large example of Calcite (the kind of rock that their geodes are).

The triceratops that W & I slept under during our last visit
I didn't catch C's expression until uploading these photos. My little stinker! :p
C has been talking about "seeing chickens" at the museum. I think he means the chick hatchery. ;) I am hoping we will be able to get back there sometime later this fall to see the Mammoth exhibit which opens this month.
