Today we went to Santa Barbara's Natural History Museum. We loved it! It was very kid friendly. Owen could run around and interact with lots of different parts of each exhibit. He really enjoyed the gem and mineral room which was cave like and he could touch anything he wanted! We also got to see the skeleton of a wooly mammoth which found on Santa Rosa Island, not far from Santa Barbara. The bird exhibit was really cool. The eggs from some hummingbirds were about the size of a tic tac, amazing that an entire bird emerges from such a small egg. He also got to excavate a fossil with a small brush in a sand box. I think he had the most fun throwing the sand out of the box however.
We had a slight emergency in the first 10 minutes of our arrival. We forgot the diaper bag at home and had no extra diapers in the car, which left us in a stinky situation! Fortunately I found another Mom in the parking lot with a daughter (Bella) who was the same age and had an extra diaper for Owen. Thank Goodness! The kids met in the planetarium section and it was love at first sight! Owen kept chasing her around trying to kiss her. She was playing hard to get, but they sure were cute together!
Overall, it was a great day.
