Fisher Family Fun Day

A few Saturdays ago we went on a Fisher Family Fun Day adventure to the Philadelphia Natural History Museum. Lindsay was suppose to go on a field trip there in April, but it ended up falling on the day we were out of town in Washington DC. We promised her we would take her in the future, and made it a fun day for the whole family. 

We got to Philly we just had to go to Reading Terminal Market to try out a new gluten free food place called "Fox and Son's". They had GF Corn dogs and Funnel Cakes! I think Maddie almost cried tears of joy when she took a bite of both of them!

Lindsay has been craving a nutella crepe, and we happily got her one from the stand in the market.

After lunch we headed to the museum and the first stop was the dinosaur exhibit.

Checkcing out the excavation room...

There was a butterfly garden where you could walk through and get an up close and personal experience with a butterfly or two...

They had fun playing paleontologists, and digging for dinosaur fossils...

Andrew: Nope. Not wearing the googles for a picture.

The kids had a blast running through the museum, and really enjoyed taking our time through it. It wasn't busy at all, and was just the right speed for our crew. Our resident scientist, Lindsay, was in hog heaven, and chatted away about all the connections she was making with what she was learning in school. It was a fun day, topped off with ice cream of course!! YUM!
