{Museum of Science and Industry}

On Thursday I took the girls down to the museum of Science and Industry. We heard that you could literally spend all day there, and we thought nearly 5 hours would be sufficient, but it wasn't! Coolest museum EVER!
Here are some pictures, because I obviously haven't posted enough of those yet!

They had an chicken egg hatchery! So fun!

 
We stayed and watched this one through the whole process! So amazing!




We went to a little science show thing where we got to see our own DNA! We swished some salt water, combined that with some dish soap, and we could see strands of DNA - pretty cool! If you look on the table at this next picture you can see how Megan totally missed her cup when she spit back out her salt water...haha! love her.


Super cool part - the girls got to dissect a cow eye ball! I did not participate in dissection - I just took pictures! You gotta love the facial expression of the girls in some of these pics!















It was such a great great visit!!!!!!!

PS - we also went to the Body Worlds exhibit - no pictures allowed. But that was seriously the coolest thing I have ever seen. Real bodies where you could see muscles, internal organs, bones, blood vessels, it was amazing. One of the coolest parts in that exhibit was their section of the development of the fetus! They had real fetuses at different stages of the pregnancy - it was amazing. They had a fetus as early as 4 weeks along, it was seriously miraculous to see how much that little baby grows. It was truly amazing to see how quickly it grows - it was kind of a sacred experience to just realize how perfect our bodies are and the things that they can do. Loved that exhibit. I cannot wait to meet our little Angel Girl. I'm 30ish weeks along now, it's getting so close!!!!!

  2. Not at all! It wasn't gruesome or gross by any means, just really informational. I would strongly suggest going! I'm not a fan of blood or guts or bodily functions but this exhibit did not bother me one bit.
