Family Home Evening

Last night for Family Home Evening Brandon and I went to the Bean Museum at BYU. Talk about being sheltered, I didn't even know it existed! I always heard people talk about the Bean Museum but I found out last night I had never been there. I've been to the Museum of Art at BYU and seen some cool displays there and that's where I thought we were going but it turns out I was wrong. And I loved the Bean Museum! There are so many animals there, it's insane! And you can't beat free admission either.

I can't believe how huge this bear is!!

While we were there this guy was doing a presentation on reptiles. It was pretty cool. He had a big giant lizard and two huge boa constrictors that he was holding. Check out the snake skin on the floor!


Okay, so I thought this was awesome. A massive butterfly made up of other butterflies. This thing was huge. The second picture helps you see the detail.

Hooray for the Bean Museum! Did you get to hold the snakes? I always loved going up there and holding the snakes when I was a kid but I don't know if they let you do that anymore. btw I love that you have music on your blog - you'll have to educate me :-)
