A Night at the Museum

First Mondays of the month are free at the University of Utah's natural history museum. So family home evening it was!

The best part of the entire museum was the dinosaurs, but it was toward the end of the night and Rhett just wasn't that interested in them.

He's excited to be on my shoulder though! He also liked pulling my hair -- he didn't last on my shoulders very long!

There was this great puppet show area that had hand puppets of different "creatures." Rhett enjoyed the bat tickling him as well as the fuzzy legs of the tarachula! (see below)

I believe we are looking at beetles in this picture. He seemed intrigued by them. I think it was the simple fact that they moved. At any rate, he seemed to be interested in the buggy life of the museum.

Rhett putting to test his archeological skills and "carefully" brushing off the bones.
