Hello Mom! We are still trying to catch up with our travellogs! After Mel spent the weekend with Madison, she spent the next two days with her nephew Tyler. He wanted to go to the Detroit area to practice in some indoor skate parks. Mel's bargain was she would take him if he went to a museum with her.
We picked Tyler up, had a good dinner, and a good night's sleep. The next day was the museum, which was more to my liking than the skate park, for sure!
We started with a t-rex! 
I climbed up, though everyone else was too afraid. I know how fossils work, though. I knew I was in no danger.
There was a whole hall full of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals!
This is a model of a mastadon that was found right near where we were standing!
We all settled in to watch a show in the planetarium about the wonders of the world. I made sure I got a good seat! I learned also about some of the wonders of the universe. There ere many interesting photos f globular clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. Even a black hole!
Later after the show we watched this big globe go around and and talked about all of the placed we'd been and were all we wanted to still go. I said "Everywhere!"
In another part of the museum, we learned about the native cultures of North America.
I think they were very talented artists, I learned a lot!
Here I am learning about how water molecules link together when they freeze. It explains to me why ice is a hexagonal crystal. Did you know that ice is technically a mineral? Because it is non-organic and has a crystal structure?
