California Academy of Science

Monday we went to the California Academy of Science in the Golden Gate Park. It was OK but really I think Karoline was too young and there were no toddler play/ exploring areas. The two big attractions are the planetarium and the rain forest walk. We could not do either one. She was too young for the planetarium and didn't like the rain forest animals being "free" to fly around. So I was very thankful we were given free tickets because I would have died it we would have spent $50 on going... the zoo would have been better. For older kids it would have been GREAT! After we went to the botanical gardens and that was our favorite part of the day!

Karoline was scared from the moment she looked at the first live animal... even the stuffed animals scared her!

The penguins...

Looking at the fish...


Anderson loved watching the fish...

I tried to get Karoline to go into a tunnel where you felt like you were in with the fish... It was a NO GO!

The living roof...

Scared of everything else but this HUGE dino... she thought she was in a Diego video.

We went to the Botanical Gardens after and they had a ton of ducks. Anderson LOVED the ducks. He kept saying duck to the best of his ability. It was precious!




Tonight Karoline put on her nightgown... it's a size 4 so I was not sure if it would be too big but she wanted to wear it. She put it on and she said "Mommy, I'm an angel!" It was so cute! Also, my mom is finally here! Praise the LORD!
