learning & imagination

Josh loves to learn. If I have said it once, I am sure I have said it a million times. So after a yummy lunch, we decided to go somewhere new this afternoon and headed to the Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah.

There were a lot of different animal habitats in one area of the museum. Josh even checked out what it was lik to be a duck.

Josh examined the huge dino footprint. It was a big as him! He learned about different human habitats, like the teepees and mud shelters. He also learned about mining and the beautiful gems of the world.

The sucker mom that I am, we stopped by the gift store on our way out. Josh didn't want any of the cheesey plastic toys, no he found a book about Explorers. He was facinated by the stories of exploring different areas and habitats of the world. As soon as we got home, he wanted to do some exploring of his own. We set up base camp on the porch (thank goodness for the warm day!). He got his exploring tools. He created a explorer's journal. And he was off exploring the yard or better said the mountains looking for Yetis.

The mountain he conquered.

What a FUN and IMAGITATIVE afternoon!
