Vacation Recap #3

Shell Museum

On Sunday we went to the Shell Museum. At first, I didn't think it would be to exciting but it ended up being pretty cool. The kids really enjoyed looking at all the different shells and how they grow.

We came in the lower entrance that was handicap accessible because of the stroller. In the lobby area, they have a couple of display cases that have these scenes made out of shells....at least they aren't bugs!

 State fair

These are made with crab shells.

I would love to have these big beautiful shells!



Can you hear the ocean now?



The kids were given papers with shells and they had a scavenger hunt. After finding all the shells they received a surprise. Baby Girl did a great job finding hers!

They had a great area for the kids to explore and do activities as well.



Baby Girl was proud of completing the puzzle all by herself.

DH found what he liked the most...the food displays!



There was things for the bigger kids too.



Squid...Flannel Boy bought one to eat after this...LOL

 And it was educational!

Over all, it was pretty cool. But the price seemed a little high for our group. I don't know if I would be willing to go again when paying for so many. Almost all the kids were considered "adults".
