So this last weekend Jason took two, yes two days off. He hasn't taken a full day off since he bought the pharmacy, but he took two days off because he planed a romantical get away with just the two of us. That however did not pan out. So Jason decided to take the family on a little trip to Boise.
We first went to the Discovery Meusuem. It had "The Body" exhibit that we wanted to see. I forgot my camera, so all these outstanding pictures were taken with my phone.
It is a discovery museum so of coarse it had some cool hands on things for the kids to do.
Some of it we had not seen before and were really neat.
We then went to check out the "dead bodies" as my kids like to call them. We got to touch a real brain.
The exhibit was okay, but honestly Jason was not too impressed. He was disapointed and felt like it lacked many things, and was not very easy to follow even with his back ground.
The kids got board in seconds.
I just didn't' like it that much. I thought that it would be cool, but I couldn't stop thinking that these were people once. That lung with cancer, those uterus, those poor baby sculls all poor dead people,or worse babies. I am not really good at seporating myself, hence the reason that I am not in any medical profession. No cadaver labs for me!
We then ventured to the Birds of Prey Meusum. Dillon was super excited about this, because they came to his school and showed him some amazing birds once.
Probably cooler with them showing you. But it was neat to see some of these guys close up.
They had some California Condors that were pretty awesome. They are huge. It is neat to see something that is so near extinction.
They had a fun hands on room with fun things for the kids to play with.
Okay Jason had fun too.
Dillon like mauling everyone with his huge stuffed owl.
Elleree had to have her picture taken with all the stuffed owls.
She loves owls.
Funny nut.
I liked the eagle most of all, we talked the two of us. They are so big, I don't think I have ever seen one so close before. Very majestic creatures.

Your adventures are always full of interesting things.
I think I would have preferred the birds to the brains as well.
I too would not be able to overlook that these were real people once.
I think all the owl pictures with Miss Elleree are super cute!
Hope the two of you get a romantic getaway... someday.
(:
