The third Wednesday of every month the Academy of Sciences in San Francisco has a free day so Nicki and I decided to head to the city and take the kiddos!
Riley was not excited about the "long" ride...and there was a little drama between her and Will...at some point she started crying big time and said Will bit her finger. It was reminding me of the infamous "Charlie bit my finger" video on YouTube and she had some bite marks on her little finger for proof! I had to explain that Will is younger and a boy...she didn't quite understand but she toughed it out and we all made it to San Francisco!
We got there early and that was a good move because by the time we left it was getting pretty crowded!
Me and my girl!
Nicki and Will
There were tons of great exhibits to check out!
One of our favorites was the rainforest! It was several stories showing all the different layers of the rainforest and we learned all about them and see all the different kinds of animals that live in each layer!
It was very humid inside and felt like we were really in the rainforest!
The sun shining through the top!
Beautiful birds flew all around!
There were some awesome bright colored frogs to look at!
Butterflies were also flying all over the place!
At the very bottom was an aquarium that you could walk under...super cool!
After checking out the rainforest we headed to the penguin exhibit just in time to watch them get fed!
Riley loved watching the the penguins being fed and she stayed after to ask lots of questions from the girl who told us all about the feeding. She had some good questions..and some silly ones too!
We saw some awesome turtles!
After checking out most of the exhibits we headed to this awesome play area and Riley and Will had a blast!
They had a big pretend ship that had sleeping quarters, a kitchen, and all sorts of fun things to play with!
Riley was very busy and Will was anxious to keep up with her!
After some fun playing we headed to the cafe in the museum and grabbed lunch!
Both kids took naps most of the way home and it was a great day!
We have talked a lot about this fun day since and Riley had fun at the museum but she talks about what a long ride it was to the museum. She has had long rides on her mind since we drove to Disneyland which was the longest she had been in the car since we moved out here...and she doesn't remember that trip. So now whenever we are going somewhere she asks "is it gonna be a long ride?" and then she says "can't we just fly there?"...gotta love my little jet setter but we are not going to be flying 50 miles to San Francisco anytime soon!
