Brownie Troop # 84 Excursion: Exhibit Musuem of National History (U of M Ann Arbor)

Anita's Brownie Troop went to the University of Michigan's Exhibit Museum of Natural History in Ann Arbor today and participated in the Dinosaur Discovery Day event. There were several other Brownie troops as well. I drove Anita and two other girls there. We were part of three minivans that caravanned there, and thankfully we were able to secure free parking at the building. Woo hoo!

We started off participating in a Dinosaur Track workshop (- see pictures below -) followed by a presentation in the Planetarium. After the Planetarium, the girls made dinosaur hats. Then, to the second floor to view dinosaurs and the third floow to view life-size exhibits of animals (a polite way of saying "stuffed").

Finally, we had lunch at the Pizza House on Church Street. We had a great time with the other moms and Brownies. The girls acquired another fun badge (one with a Dinosaur on it) and a triad.

When we arrived home, Dad and Minnie finished doing laundry, played with the big train and had lunch at Bode's. It was a busy day!
