Visit to the Charlotte Nature Museum

Mike and I took the kids to the Charlotte Nature Museum on Saturday, and it was really worth the trip! Well, just about any place that they can run around and explore is a great place these days!

We saw snakes, owls (the family favorite!!), turtles, fish, birds, a skunk, and tons of butterflies! Of course, as soon as we walked in the door, Aidan made a beeline for the fishtank and all of the sudden started saying "Tuk, Tuk, Tuk, Vrrrr". Sure enough, he was more fascinated by the giant mural of a truck painted on the wall than any of the animals!







We did come home with two new stuffed friends - a bird that chirps (Ella's favorite) and an owl (Aidan's favorite).



Not only was it a great afternoon, but Ella and Aidan both learned the word Owl and that an Owl says "who, who". They chant it over and over when holding the owl. They now have quite an animal sound list - dog, cow, monkey & owl.
