Labor Day Weekend

We did not do much over the Holiday weekend... we were looking for things to do and ended up visiting a few museums. On Sunday, Tyler, Colby and I went and checked out the snake exhibit at the Heard Natural Science Museum. Tyler thought it was super cool getting to see all the snakes. We got to hear some of the snakes 'hiss' at us and saw several of the snakes 'bow up' (is that how you say it??) at us!!



To the right is a picture of Tyler and Colby standing inside of a snake. Very cool display!







On Monday, we decided to check out the Frontiers of Flight Museum. Neat stuff there and the Apollo exhibit was super cool to see!!



The museum was not very crowded so one of the workers let Tyler go inside one of the helicopters on display. Tyler had several questions for the worker like 'what does this button do?', 'what about this red button over here?' and on and on... the funny thing is that the worker answered Tyler like he actually knew something about helicopters. 'This button lets the hydraulic up on the back right rotor and minimizes air pressure so the fork can spin the right front blade in a counter-clockwise direction' ... I have no idea what I just said but those were the kind of answers Tyler was getting! It was quite amusing to see the look on Tyler's face after the worker finished talking.
