Cape Cod Natural History Museum 2014

Grandma wanted to take James to the Cape Cod Natural History Museum, and we thought it would be fun to join them. It's definitely a museum geared to little kids and they even had little step stools set up everywhere so the little ones could see exhibits better.

There's an upper level with reptiles, amphibians and bugs, and below there are birds and fish.

James always calls Miranda a turkey. This is our comparison picture.

So cute!

Outside there's a garden, and two walking trails. We did half the John Wing Trail through the marsh to the little "Stonehenge" they officially call the Solar installation.
