SC State Museum

We have put lots of things on hold since Ben was born, but decided this weekend we would give the State Museum a try.  Mac has started SC State History at school and it seemed like a great time to go.
I am so glad we tried because we all had a great time, even Ben.
Did you know that there was a shark a long time ago (extinct now) called the Giant White shark?  Almost 5 times the size of the Great White Shark.  I am full of interesting facts just keep reading!

This was one of Mac's favorite parts of the museum.  The civil war muskets and guns.  He also enjoyed seeing the original SC state flag. . .which he had just read about in school.  (Real life learning how cool is that!)

This was Kate's love of the day.  It is a replication of the Secession Ball, absolutely beautiful! 
Now there were many other parts in the museum not just SC history, but this was what sparked the most interest in our children.  Trip and I enjoyed this part too, but we all also enjoyed digging for dinosaur bones, learning about the SC train lines and a little about outer space.

However, I will have to say the most amazing sight all day was this little boy.  He stayed right here in this stroller for the entire visit.  Who knew that would have happened.  Kids keep you on your toes.  Maybe we will be able to start getting out more.
