Hall of Bones

Theo was very excited to show Sam and Matt the Paleontology Museum (part of the Museum of Natural History) that he and I visited in November. Even the second time around he insists that "it's the best museum ever".

Amused that the pelican skeleton still had it's beak sac.

The blue whale is spectacular 

Sam was particularly interested in the two-headed fetal lamb and "cyclopes" cat fetus
 

Theo was impressed by the Mola mola (Ocean Sunfish).

I told Sam this was what his early ancestors looked like. He seemed confused and then asked if it was Grandpa Shaw (more specifically he asked if Grandpa Shaw had died - did he think they'd stick him in this museum?!).
There is a bit of a resemblance, however. ...must be the hair.
