Durham Museum of Life and Science


(left) checking out the frogs...too bad you can't see them in this photo, they were bright blue!

Last weekend we went to the museum, and the whole family had a great time. We got there when it opened at 10am, and thought the kids would last until lunchtime... but boy, were we wrong! They were still going strong until nearly 3pm, when we dragged them out of there before the no-nap meltdowns began! There's an indoor and and outdoor part - and because it was such a nice day, we got to explore both. The kids had fun on the train, and of course loved the animals (especially the brown bears!). We went through the butterfly exhibit and the insect exhibit. There is an awesome outdoor playground which Liam loved beating on the drums and playing in the huge sandbox. After a brief lunch, we explored the inside of the museum and there was a 6 and under room that they had a blast in. Keira had fun on the climbing wall, and actually got pretty good from going side to side. Her favorite part was the stable area where she could clean and brush the (stuffed) horses. She definitely loves her animals!
I just love this photo of my boys!
