Natural History Museum

After breakfast, we rallied to get to the Natural History museum to see "Twinkle Twinkle for Little Stars" (a planetarium show for kids). The freeway was closed for some reason, so it took us much longer to get there...and we missed the show! BUT, we did hang out with the butterflies for a while. It was warm out today so all the butterflies were fluttering about. There were tons of them! Owen was of course more interested in the rocks that were in the fountains.

We had to leave the butterflies after one too many requests for a snack. Just outside the exhibit, we sat at a nice table outside overlooking a dry creek bed with lots of plants and shade. After a bag of veggie chips, cheese and whole grain crackers, a granola bar and a full cup of apple juice, we were ready to move on. We headed to a sand pit of dinosaur bones he got to uncover, but not before he started begging a stranger for more snacks! He managed to get two Ritz crackers and some raisins out of these people, just on his good looks and puppy dog eyes. He's like a seagull, I swear!

Lately, Owen has been an eating machine! The kid does not stop. The second he leaves his high chair he is begging for snacks. He wants snacks after his snacks. He wakes up talking about food every morning and from every nap! He is definitely my child! If you want to see for yourself, here are some pics my mom took today of the "mouse" in her pantry! http://picasaweb.google.com/1LynnShively2Lewis/OwenInNanaSPantry?authkey=Gv1sRgCLDrraaW_dbB2gE#

After he was done scavenging for more food, we checked out the bird exhibit, made animal sounds at the large stuffed animals, and then....for the highlight of the day.....someone discovered a WATER FOUNTAIN!
