Philadelphia Franklin Institute...

Nash spotted this sign from our car and it was a must that we go to the Franklin Institute. We were lucky enough to go twice in one week with Darin and then with our friend Codi and her girls.
All the museums were walking distance from our hotel so it made parking so easy. They are also all a block or so away from the new Philadelphia Temple site...which is AWESOME considering the fun things we can do with kids while attending the temple.

The dinosaur display was okay but we thought the Natural History Museum was better. Nash obviously loved all of it. His favorite part of this one was digging for dinosaurs in a bunch of rubber shaving stuff.

I liked the health area. They have a gigantic model of a heart that you can walk through. It is pretty awesome.

Water is always a favorite when Nash is involved.

Trains...

There was an area with a bunch of vacuum hoses and balls. The kids were totally entertained by sending the balls back and forth to each other through the hoses.

Another favorite was the exercise machines that made these annoying cartoons sing...

Fun with magnets...

Thanks Codi for joining us, you made a long day go a whole lot faster and we had a ton of fun!
