We went to the Tulles science museum in Cartersville yesterday. It was a very nice place. We saw early attempts at cars and motorbikes, replicas of the Wright brothes plane and The Appolo space capsule, airplane engines, gems, minerals, fossils, dinosaur bones, and much more.
The boys especially loved the children's section at the end, where they could pan for gems to their heart's content. And they got to keep everything they found. Both boys came home with a small bag of gemstones of all colors. The guides were great at identifying the lumps of gems and helped make it very exciting for the kids.
After that, they did a "fossil dig," in a specialized area for kids. They each could keep one fossil and both of them ended up with a fang-like tooth.

Gem panners hard at work in this photo!
Marty, don't look behind you............
Yikes!
What's a science museum without a T Rex?
A prehistoric porcupine of sorts.
Rumpled but having fun.
We practically had the place to ourselves!
Coming home the conversation between the boys went something like this:
Sam: Benny, would you rather drink a bottle of ketchup or a bottle of hot sauce?
Benny: It depends. What kind of hot sauce are we talking about?
Benny: It depends. What kind of hot sauce are we talking about?
Sam: From Chipolte's Mexican Resteraunt.
Benny: Oh man. I'll take the ketchup.
Sam: I'd do hot sauce. Would your rather jump from a fifty foot tall cliff or a fifty foot tall building?
Benny: What am I landing on?
Sam: Concrete.
Sam: Concrete.
Benny: Then it really doesn't matter what I pick.
Sam: Pick one.
Benny: A building.
Sam: I'd take cliff. Would you rather......
And on and on. Where they get these odd things to talk about is beyond me!

Hilarious! I can just hear those two talking just like they did when they were little bits.
