Today was the second day of presentations, Ryan and Amanda went, presenting on Mary Shelley and William and Caroline Hershel respectively, all knowledgeable and what not. Ryan tried to play teacher and call on people as well as play favorites a bit. They averaged out at around and hour each and after lunch we were off on our excursion for the afternoon, science museums. First we went to The Science Museum and scuttled around in the 18th century and computer sections, kind of interested but mostly wanting to check out this thing they had called launchpad. Then we headed over to the Natural History Museum where we were greeted by a giant dinosaur in the front lobby. We saw a bunch of fossils, some collected by Mary Anning (a Victorian fond of fossil hunting), and a giant sloth skeleton. Eager to get back over and find out what this launchpad thing was and yet intrigued by a picture of a giant baby we saw somewhere advertising other sections of the museum. We found it in a section called “the Wonders of Life”, after sifting through the bit on actual conception. Lo and behold, it was a giant baby, a fetus to be precise, at 7 months gestation I believe. Since has been a joke of James and Ryan’s to call Amanda a baby, they made her take a picture with the giant baby and she threatened them with bodily harm the entire time. After that we ran back over to the Science Museum and up to launchpad which turned out to be an interactive science thing, like the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis, for kids but that didn’t stop us. We spent a good hour in there playing with everything. My favorite part was this machine had a metal rod sticking out of it. You slid a straw onto the rod (for hygiene), bit down onto the straw, put your fingers in your ears and tada! you could hear music. Kids always get the fun stuff to do in these museums.
