Academy of Natural Sciences




Museum Day Live was a last weekend so we took advantage of the free tickets and went to the Academy of Natural Sciences.  There were lot so animals to go see.  Nathan's favorites were the dinosaurs, bears, and monkeys.  Nathan has been obsessed with the book, "We're Going On a Bear Hunt" so we made sure to go find all of the bears.  We'd prompt him with, "It's a . . ." and he'd fill in "Bear!" We also found a statue of a turtle that Nathan feed a few fishes to.



While we were downtown, we took a walk around Logan Square.  It's a fun spot to see a lot of Phillie sights.  From the fountain in the center you can see the Art Museum, City Hall, Franklin Museum, the Library, and the Temple!  We took a walk over to see the progress on the temple while we were out.  It makes me a little sad that we won't be here when it's finished, but it'll be such a blessing to the people of this area.  It's takes us at least 9 hours for us to go to the temple (travel time + session.)  We're hoping the next place we move to has a temple a little closer than that.
