The Natural History Museum!

For President's Day we went to the Natural History Museum. There is a fascinating exhibit about bones and the Chesapeake Bay that Xander was dying to go see. It is on until 2011, but we HAD to see it just 7 days after it opened! I must admit, it was really cool to see! Thanks to Xander, we are all educated for the weekend!
When you enter the Natural History Museum, you are greeted by Harry the Elephant, that is what the guide on the elevator told us. So, here's to Harry and our trip to the musem....
Garrett has been learning about Native Americans, so we needed a picture of a buffalo...
I am always amazed at the cool things they have there!
I will NOT smile, even if there is a T-rex behind me! You can't make me!
A T-rex! What T-rex!?!?!
You're just kidding about the T-rx, right mom? Xander's new friend, the armadillo.
Garrett's love for panthers facilitated this picture. His name is Pawber, like Garrett's Webkinz.
Who is that big hairy fellow behind you? Did we ask him to get in the picture?
