Smithsonian Insect Exhibit

Last Wednesday Lilly's Joy School group went to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History for a field trip. They had been learning about insects and the Insect Exhibit at the museum was the perfect place to go.

When we arrived, there were two scientist letting the children hold some of the insects. Most of the kids stood around and looked at the bugs, but only a few actually wanted to hold these nasty creatures. I mean these weren't normal bugs, they were bugs on steroids. They were all massive! Of course Lilly walked right up to the front and asked to hold them all. She held a cockroach, a black centipede, a grasshopper, and a caterpillar. She is a brave soul.

On the way out of the museum we had to stop and see the dinosaurs!

It was such a fun day of learning!
