Mary Brogan

This past saturday was Free day at the Museums. Sam, Kathryn, and I went to the Mary Brogan. Even though we have been many times in the past this time was better because they had different programs going on. We started off by making a bracelet that changes colors when you expose it to uv rays. We then went to the top floor of the museum which is where the art is located. This months exhibit is about All That Glitters. They had all kinds of sparkly gems. The girls thought the gold Monopoly set and the diamond studded cell phone were neat. We did have a laugh about the gold covered trash can.
After we left there we went one floor down to the science part of the museum. The girls explored a little before the next class which was making a casitias basicly a diorama. lots of glue and other messy things fun fun fun. Kathryn's was an ocean scene and Sam made a picture of Kathryn's swing set that is in the front yard.
We finished that and they went back out to the second floor to explore some more. The last thing they participated in was a walk through of the aquarium area and they got to touch a horseshoe crab. I forgot my camera so these pics are from previous trips but you can see some of the fun things to do there.

That place looks like the Exploreum in Mobile. We miss that one.
