Butterflies and Dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History

For a little holiday diversion, we took the kids to see the butterfly exhibit and the dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Oh how Mae hoped a butterfly would land on her hand. Alas.

Everyone, however, was sufficiently wowed by the T-Rex and his cousins on the fourth floor:

Hunna and Sam in front of the Willamette Meteor:

Mae and Jane waiting to get into the butterfly exhibit:

Inside the butterfly exhibit:

Upstairs with the big boys:

Sam with the model of brontosaurus:

And the hall of African mammals:

We missed the blue whale this time, but I have a feeling there will be a next time in my future.

Now, on to lunch!
