MOSH?

Museum of Science and History in Jacksonville, FL.

Our field trip last week.  It was wonderful.  They have the Narnia exhibit which was so fascinating.  It felt as if we’d stepped into the movie.  The lamp post, the wardrobe, the clothes…..all combined to usher us into The Land of Narnia.

We were not allowed to take photos of the exhibit since the clothes were the original ones worn on the set of the movie but it was beautiful.  You’ll have to take my word for it.

I did get to take some other photos.

This is the entrance to the museum area with baby girl clinging to the lower jaw….

This is my baby girl in the life size replica of a whale who has given birth to something like 6 calves.  So sweet.  My womb hurts.

This is some of the sea life we got to wonder over God and his magnificant creation…….

We had a wonderful presentation about weather.

The kids loved it when our teacher made a storm cloud.

This is life at my house (yea right).

And there was a wonderful exhibit all about Jacksonville.  The St Johns River is just a few miles from where we live.  From Wikipedia:

The St. Johns River is the longest river in the U.S. state of Florida and its most significant for commercial and recreational use. At 310 miles (500 km) long, it winds through or borders twelve counties, three of which are the state’s largest. The drop in elevation from the headwaters to the mouth is less than 30 feet (9.1 m); like most Florida waterways, the St. Johns has a very slow flow rate at a third of a mile an hour (0.2 km/h), and is often described as “lazy”.^[2] It is one of a small number of rivers in the United States to run north. Numerous lakes are formed by the river or flow into it, but as a river its widest point is 3 miles (4.8 km) across, spanning several miles between Palatka and Jacksonville, the latter being the largest urban area on the river. The narrowest point is in the headwaters, an unnavigable marsh in Indian River County. In all, 3.5 million people live within the various watersheds that feed into the St. Johns River.^[3]

It was a wonderful “out of the classroom” day and we had such a wonderful time.  I’m so thankful for field trips!
