Peabody Museum of Natural History

Yesterday the kids and I went on a "field trip" to the Peabody Museum of Natural History. We've lived in New Haven for almost four (!!!) years now, and only been to this museum once. Also, during the school year, they have free admission on Thursday afternoons. Perfect! I had been planning on going a few months ago, but saw that if I waited just a few more weeks we could check out their new exhibit "Echoes of Egypt".

It was such a nice day! We parked kind of far away and walked a few blocks to the museum.

Elijah had to stop and read the signs in the "Cretaceous Garden". Sophia had to stop and pick dandelions.

Apparently the sun was in their eyes! 

Elijah was happy to pose for me a few times. 

(Sophia not so much!)

I did take many pictures, and there was no photography allowed in the Egypt exhibit. The kids each go these cool printouts of their names in hieroglyphics. 

They just had to stop and chase each other around this tree on our walk back to the car! Blurry, but cute!

And sit in this nice green grass, because we don't see much of that, you know.
