We spent most of the morning holed up in the basement avoiding the crowds. Glitter and I joined Sparkle to visit the butterfly exhibit.
The afternoon was amazing. We went to see the Texas exhibit. Early in the morning I saw our favorite docent and mentioned that we'd be at the exhibit around 1pm. He said that he'd try to meet our group there. Sure enough, a few minutes after we entered the exhibit, he showed up. Then he stayed with our group for TWO HOURS pointing out cool parts of the exhibit and filling the kids in on the back story. He pulled out box after box of artifacts from the touch cart for kids to feel and talk about. My kids who normally flit through the exhibits like the butterflies we had seen earlier paid attention to his descriptions and ask questions that showed they were actually paying attention. What an amazing learning experience.
