Today, we (me, bran, and my mom) decided to venture into DC to see the Butterfly exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History. Basically you walk into a 80 degree/80% humidity room with 55 species of Butterflies flying all around. The curators prepped us to not touch/step on the butterflies and to be prepared that they will land on you. As soon as we stepped into the room, Lex, who is scared of the teeniest bug, lost her mind! If she could have run out of the room screaming, she would have!
Ooops. A butterfly like's GG's blond hair. Lex was shaking so she was so scared that the butterfly would hurt her GG.
One lands on my madras shorts!
Geeg and Bran convincing Lex that she doesn't have any butterflies stuck on her.
After the butterfly exhibit, we checked out the Imax theater and watched the movie Sea Monsters about prehistoric animals in 3D. HUGE prehistoric dinosaur fish with enormous teeth swimming at us in the dark in 3D was fine for lex, but butterflies are SCARY.
Afterwards, we took a little break and checked out the sculpture garden. We were able to put our feet in the huge wading pool and do yet another butterfly check.
