Natural Science Musuem

Dan took the boys to the Museum one afternoon last week while Cherokee was visiting us. They had a fun time. Chase is narrating the story to me while I type. I am putting his words down and not adding any of my own. If Dan chooses, he can go back and add some other information later. When Chase was finished narrating, I asked Zach if he wanted to add anything else...he said NO.
This is a Geode. It is half of a rock filled with crystals of some sort...normally quartz.
This is the Canibal God of the Aztecs.
This picture frightened Zach because it was supposed to especially like to eat children. Numerous nightmares evolved from this one face!!

Crystal formation.
Amethyst Quartz.
Maybe the same as above.
Glowing Rock....for each different color in the rock, there is a different type of mineral which is responsible for the glowing on the rock.
Gigantic Geode.
Zach, Cherokee, and Chase before going into the IMAX Theatre to see The Grand Canyon. It was pretty awesome. But, it was not about the Grand Canyon. It was about the Colorado River mostly. They lied.

Doesn't the Colorado river run through the Grand Canyon? I have been to the Grand Canyon for real...no 3D glasses. It's pretty neat.

the museum looked cool. Some of those pictures of rocks looked like fireworks.

Yes, it does run through the Grand Canyon. But Chase believes the movie was more about the river than the canyon. Besides...we know he is not a man of many words.
