Mind Museum

 Our trip to the Mind Museum last Saturday was fun-one of the most interesting things that I learned is that whale sharks can be identified by the spots on their backs-like a human's fingerprints.

  Of 343 whale sharks identified by the World Wildlife Federation and ECOCEAN in the Philippines 328 were spotted and tagged in Donsol-a city in the Philippines that we plan to visit and get to snorkel with these really neat animals.

 Ashley and Ryan were inside this cool house building models with elements-they also had a periodic table with examples in each box

 We all had a turn trying to get our hair to stand up

 I thought this rice exhibit very interesting-

 Ashley pointed to the brown rice on the far left and said "look Mommy chocolate rice!"

 4380 rice bowls feeds a family for 12 months-that stack of rice bowls would be taller than the Petronas Towers-the umbrella that all this information was on was filled with grains of rice.

At first the kids were so excited they just ran around playing with things but it was a very interesting place-there was really a lot to read and learn and older (or more patient) kids could definitely learn a lot!
