Butterfly Exhibit





We got some tickets to see the "special" exhibits at the Museum of Natural History. For those of you who don't live in NYC, here's a tip. You technically do not need to pay full price to enter the AMNH. Admission is "by donation" so you can actually "donate" a dollar a peruse the galleries to your heart's content (whether that be an hour or four). However, in order to see any of the IMAX movies, the butterfly exhibit etc, you do have to pay full "price". One of the girls in the singles ward here gave Matt some tickets, so we took the girls and Grandma Susan and enjoyed hanging out with the butterflies for a little while.
We also saw a dinosaur IMAX movie which has turned Lexi on to the idea of being a paleontologist. When I asked her what a paleontologist does, she said, "They dig up dinosaur bones and put them together in a museum!"

Ella had a fun time feeling the huge ball of ice in the Water exhibit.

Are those real live butterflies or are they dried real butterflies? Oh heck you know what I mean.

Wow I wish we could see them. Evy would squeel with delight until they all flew away.
