SCIENCE

The Academy of Sciences in SanFrancisco is an awesome place!  Great field trip:)
We walked through the rainforest--saw lots of tropical birds and beautiful butterflies flying all around us:)
The girls were so excited to see this butterfly land on this woman's arm!  Faith tried standing very still, but no luck.


Proof that the planet spins...


....Albino alligator


...lots of jellyfish, tropical fish, and more

The hands on section was great for the girls--they got to touch star fish, seaweed, and kelp.


We did not like what it feels like to touch an electric eel!!!!!


                                            Macaw




Great displays...




The penguins were real---

......stingrays

sharks

...the living roof


Overall, a very cool place to visit!  Aquarium, planetarium, and museum all in one:)
