My Family: March 2013

Fun Day at the Pittsburgh Carnegie Museum

We had such a wonderful day at the Carnegie Museum on March 2, 2013. Marina wanted to see Ancient Egypt so terribly! She had checked a book out at the school library about ancient Egypt and studied the hieroglyphics.

When we first arrived at the Museum beside the elevator to the third floor are amazing butterflies of many colors and sizes! They are in cases and you may look at them with magnifying glass.

Marina's favorite butterflies!

Spencer's favorite butterflies!

Of course when we arrived at the museum, we went directly to the third floor to visit Ancient Egypt. Marina read some of the writing on the stone for us & taught all of us about the hieroglyphics, especially Spencer, which is fascinating.

They are boating and staying dry~ WOW

Then we went to see the Polar World and Indian exhibits, the museum never ceases to amaze and the way the children absorb the information and talk about what they read all the way through the museum is truly amazing. Spencer was really excited to see how much the American Indians look like he does!
