The Milwaukee Public Museum

 On Sunday, we took Soli and Tiz to the Milwaukee Public Museum.

We have taken Tizita to the museum each year and we were thrilled that Soli could join us this year, too.

We started our our day in the Butterfly area.

At first both girls were a bit afraid of the butterflies, but Tiz soon learned that if she stood nice and still a butterfly would come visit her.

 She was so excited to have this one on her dress until it started crawling up toward her face.

 Both girls posing amongst the butterflies.

 I just love Soli's expression in this photo.

 Soli even attracted a butterfly.  One landed right on her little shoe.

 Finally, Tiz had one land right on her finger.

Her patience paid off and she was thrilled.

 We had lunch in the museum cafeteria and then went to the Dinosaur area.

Again, both girls were a bit on the skittish side, but soon excitement took over.

This was one area of the museum that Alissa refused to enter when she was a little girl.

 We always need a picture in the igloo.

 The girls enjoyed looking at the exhibits while Bumpa explained things to them.

 Here they are talking about the shells we will find when we go to St. George this summer.

 One of Courtney's favorite things in the museum was this lady with the big butt.

We had to show the girls, not sure they liked it as much as their mom did.

Alissa favorite area was the big junk pile which is no longer there, replaced by dancing Indians.

Our last stop is always the gift shop.

The girls each picked out a soft seal to remember our day at the museum.

Wonderful times with our beautiful grandbabies.
