Benjamin and Joshua at Camp

B: Today we saw some seals and sea lions and alligators. We saw more too. But Mom, I gotta uh, The otters are not there yet. They are in the same thing as the seal lions and seals. We made a paw print--we each made a different one. Some made a black bear paw print like me. But I used three magic things and that's it.

Dino-Mite camp at the NHM: We saw butterflies. We talked about all kinds of animals, not just butterflies. Because of red and yellow means an animal can't eat it--it's dangerous. All sorts of animals that have red and yellow or just red or just yellow on them--that's camouflage.

Build-it, race-it, fly-it: Today we made cotton ball launchers.

J: The whale watching was really cool. We rocked up and down up and down and sometimes we jumped and we weren't even touching the water. It was cool, especially the whales--I never knew they were so big.

Zoo camp was really good. We got to dissect owl pellets in zoo camp and also in Birds of a Feather (NHM, next week). Oh yeah, raptors have talons and the ones with two in the front and two in back "zydodactyles". The back talons are called the "killer talons". The rockpyrex has 4 babies.

I liked the planetarium show. I liked going to the planets with water and volcanos. I liked petting the crab in the aquarium. There was a sea anenomae that doesn't sting and I touched it.

Funtastic Physics: The roller coaster is my favorite park. We got balls to roll it on. And then we made loops to see if that did it. I made boats yesterday. My aluminum boat worked better than my clay boat. My clay boat only held 8 washers, but my aluminum boat held more than 100.

Birds of a Feather: We dissected owl pellets.
