Wittie Museum


The kids and I went to the Wittie this week! The dinosaur exhibit is still in full swing, so we decided to wait until school was back in session to go and check it out. We loved it! Emersyn and Ezra had a great time. Funny story, Emersyn was so excited and ran up to the first dinosaur in the exhibit just "roaring" away. I did not know that they had motion sensors and would start moving and "roar" back. Well, as she was being brave and loving it, she set off one of the sensors and the dinosaur started moving and "roaring". She ran to me crying as fast as she could and did not want to be put down the rest of the way. I think it made Ezra a little nervous too. Then, we got to the dinosaurs that you could push the buttons to move their different parts, he warmed up and instantly LOVED it. They were able to dig for dinosaur bones and all!
We have been to the Wittie before, but never ventured out to the HEB tree-house. We stayed in that area for more than an hour. They have such fun science projects up for the kids to test and try. Ezra and Emersyn loved every minute of it! We were probably at the museum for 2+ hours!! I was glad I brought snacks for everyone.
On our way out, the kids wanted to walk through the dinosaur exhibit again. This time, they were not scared! I can't wait for the end of September and January when they have the bug exhibit. I remember going to the Wittie when I was a little girl while they had the bug exhibit. It was like "Honey, I shrunk the kids". The bugs were huge and we were the small ones! Hopefully it's the same one!
