Denver- Museum of Science & Nature

P1010647
We climbed on our mountain bikes and picked up the trail down to the swim beach.  The Canada Geese posse was still there.  So Chris and Caleb darted left, then right, and then made a run for it until they were in the water!

A few times they had to do water maneuvers to thwart the geese.  I took an observatory position at a picnic table to keep an eye on the posse.

Today we decided to go to the Museum of Science and Nature in Denver.  Three stories high and filled with all sorts of exhibits.  We explored an old mine filled with gems & minerals.

We ambled through the Edge of the Wild to see all kinds of wildlife.

We took in a panoramic view of the city from the atrium.

And stepped back in time to measure up the dinosaurs!
P1010664
We ventured into Expedition Health, where we were too busy getting an EKG, experiencing wind chill, measuring our stride, and looking at the veins in our hands for me to get a picture.  At the end of that exhibit, you receive a printout with all your health information.  Caleb thought that was fun! 
Tomorrow we leave the Denver area travelling south.  We have reservations at another Colorado State Park.  Check back to see which one!
