Mammoths and Mastodons - 3/2/13

 We spent today at the Denver Nature and Science Museum, so Harrison could attend a day camp for preschoolers. The camp had an Ice Age theme to go along with the museum's current exhibit, "Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age". During camp, he got to visit the special exhibit, go on a 'dig', make an Ice Age coloring book, create some artwork, and learn a lot about the Ice Age. He had lots of fun! This is him on his way into camp with his sack lunch.

 Waiting to check-in for a fun adventure!

 Harrison was immediately absorbed in the coloring activity they had ready to go while waiting for all the kids to arrive. He didn't even hear me trying to say good-bye to him...from 12 inches away...multiple times!

 So, while Harrison was enjoying his day camp, Declan and I spent the day exploring the museum together. First, we checked out the Ice Age exhibit ourselves. Check-out how tiny Declan looks next to this mammoth!



 There were a lot of neat things for kids in the exhibit. Declan really liked this spot where you could pull the lever and 'grow' a mammoth tusk. He also got a cute mammoth hat that he liked!

Ready to go home, with a new friend (Snowy)...and lots of new knowledge.
