Museum of Natural History

We had a field trip this week to the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History. It was a very educational field trip and the kids had a lot of fun. The most fascinating thing to me, was the whale's eye ball that is preserved in some kind of liquid. It's as big as a small child's head and kind of gross to look at. Here are a few pictures I took from our day.
