family outing

The Body Worlds 3

We went as a family to see this exhibit. It was thrilling, educational and humorous all at the same time! If you have not seen this I would recommend it for families...with older children. It was border line for my 10 year old. It does show body parts, but if your open as a family you can talk about it and use it as a true teaching moment.

To enjoy our humor you need to go to my neices blog and read what she recorded from our trip. She says it best! thanks Moni.

Here is my neice Monica enjoying the book you can purchase about the body for young children. She is the only one that would pose for the pic.
Here are all the girls being quite silly about the bodies. For the most part they were facinated, other times they were just grossed out. Love kids. I think the best room was the baby room. Babies from 4 weeks to birth were displayed. That got some great conversations going about when life starts and the issue of abortion.
Micah and Josh came too!! They got tired and came found a cozy spot to rest, plus Micah was starving and needed to get FOOD. Watch out when she becomes hungry....Josh has seen the beastly side too. We love when they come on family outings with us! Thanks family for great memories. Even though we couldn't take pictures inside the exhibit (shame on those that don't follow the rules!) we made some great memories!

Micah can "fake" the happiness when she needs to....Thank heavens. Ha Ha
