We surprised the boys with going to Milwaukee Public Museum. They are really into dinosaurs and they have a wing all about fossils and even some dino's put together. They also love learning about what it was like back in the "old days", so there is a wing about what Milwaukee looked liked way back then. Another wing was all about butterflies. It is a air tight room that has tons of butterflies just flying around. Haley even tried getting one to land on her hand. This probably ended up being their favorite part, because they were able to hold real butterflies!! It was nice to have a place to go that was indoors, educational and fun during the winter months. We frequent the Milwaukee County Zoo very often when there is no snow on the ground. Enjoy the pictures!!!
Jacob and Tyler were really into looking at this Triceratops. You are able to get really close to it and they just soak up all the knowledge about this dino stuff.
Brian and the boys checking out the ice cave.
Tyler (giving me the pirate eye...arrr) and Jacob wanted to show Grandpa Andy this fish. Maybe they can catch one of these when camping. :)
Tyler was holding the butterfly on his hand when one just decided to land on his head! He really loved being able to hold and feel the butterflies.
This butterfly took a liking to Brian.
Jacob was so very excited to hold this huge butterfly! The butterfly wing was ending up to be their favorite part so we did this twice with the promise that we can do it every time we come back.
Happy New Year!
