IMAX and Turtle feeding

With our museum membership we got free tickets to see the IMAX movie so we took another trip to the Science/Children's Museum. The kids weren't so excited to watch the movie because they only show "science" movies.  We chose the coral reef movie over the Hurricane Katrina movie, but I was still worried about how the littles would do with their limited attention span. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.  The kids were enthralled, if not a little afraid.  The huge dome shaped screen surrounded us and it really felt like we were moving at times.  My only complaint is that I'm really getting sick of the save the Earth message. Not that I don't believe in saving the Earth- we recycle, reuse and believe in conserving our resources- but it seems like lately every movie, tv show, book, class, etc we've read, watched, attended makes a point of telling us how rotten the human race is and how we are destroying everything.  My kids are starting to have a complex about everything we do or don't do. 

(Remember that I only believe in brainwashing if I'm doing it :)  

While we were waiting for our show we re-visited some of our favorite sites at the museum. 

Katie's favorite thing in a museum of fun and exciting things to do was the doll house. Small and simple! Dallin and Ben just like to dress up and be silly.

Cool mouth wall, but boring teeth exhibit- we skipped it last time so felt like we had to give it a quick go around.

After releasing our turtle we still had a lot of leftover turtle food so I let the kids feed the turtles- this time they were able feed themselves and the turtles. The snappers wouldn't eat the turtle food- I guess they only like peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches, but the sliders loved it and came right up to the kids.
