We had a fun day today at Fernbank! Some big ol’ dinosaurs! This one is Argentinosaurus.

I always enjoy seeing the science exhibits and today was no exception.

I used to work with Gaboon Vipers like these in Nairobi.
g

Did you know he was only 22 when he started his journey?
d
This is a model of the HMS Beagle. He sailed on it for over 5 years.
g
He loved carnivorous plants. Did you know I’ve kept Venus Flytraps since I was 8 years old?

This is a replica of what his study looked like.

I’ve seen some of the Australiopithicene skulls when I used to work at the Nairobi Museum. Did you know I knew the Leakey family?
s

I love bones and skulls.

Some people are really angry with the Theory of Evolution. I figure God can use whatever tool HE wants to. He still made it happen!

We topped off our afternoon with an IMAX showing of the Hubble telescope.
h

I thought the pictures were absolutely amazing.
