Hermann Park and the Natural Science Museum

Another way we spent Spring Break with the girls was a trip to Hermann Park and the Houston Museum of Natural Science.  We rode the train through the park, and the girls loved it, especially waving at the people we passed and looking for animals in the park.  Afterwards we went to the museum to show Emma and Abby the butterfly exhibit, the dinosaurs, and other animals.  They both enjoyed the butterflies, although Abby kept trying to crawl into the fauna to get a closer look.  Unfortunately, Emma and Abby were both ready for a nap after that, and most of the exhibits aren't exactly geared towards their age groups, so they weren't interested in too much of the museum.  Brandie enjoyed the gemstone and jewelry exhibit immensely though!
