The Museum of Science in Boston is truly a world class museum and Isaac absolutely loved, loved it. There is a massive, full sized T Rex model, not a skeleton, which is pretty cool, but a life restoration. It gives you a sense of scale that even a skeleton can't. In fact, here is a comparison between the I-man and T-Rex:
Yikes! That is one big dino. Isaac, however, was not afraid. Here is the big reveal (the first time he saw the dino, coming around the corner):
After poking around the dinos we went to the preschooler area called the Discovery Zone. It could have been a museum in and of itself. It was two stories full of really awesome things for little guys and gals to do. The most popular attract, BY FAR, was the water trough. Here is a video of Isaac playing around:
You might be able to hear kids crying. That was when they were forced to leave the trough. Isaac, however, kept it together. There were good spots and bad spots on the trough. Isaac had to be patient and work his way up the trough. By the time we were shooting video he was in a prime spot, able to reach two tiers of the trough including one where there was a waterfall. There were little plastic fish that floated down the trough and when he caught one he was really excited. In fact all of the kids were. These fish were probably 10 cents a piece, but at the trough they were solid gold.
All in all it was an AWESOME trip. We got a membership, which turned out to be quite economical, so I didn't feel guilty for doing a quick trip. Plus I am not sure how much more the I-man could have been stimulated. Overstimulated does not adequately sum it up. One of his naps this past weekend was almost three hours.
