It was HOT in Denver this weekend, so Bryan had the great idea to beat the heat by spending the majority of Saturday indoors at the Natural History Museum, even taking in an IMAX movie "Wild Ocean."
Warren and Jack really enjoyed seeing all the exhibits, but particularly liked the Space Exploration one. They even pleaded to go back to that one at the end of our visit.
They are such little sponges for information and I find it to be so true that they learn best by doing and playing -- much moreso than reading or flashcards, or all the other fancy learning tools/toys I have ever bought into.
I have definitely never seen their faces light up like they did at the museum when I pull out the Summer workbooks we have been doing. But I will continue to offer them that form of learning too -- it can't hurt to have multiple sources, right? And it certainly doesn't hurt to have a little quiet time for mom, as they trace letters and connect dots for just a few minutes.
