A Visit to the Junior Museum, February 1998

Sand Sculpture You can make sand sculptures with this, but it sometimes get clogged.

I was on top of the Indian Fort and waving the flag to warn the Indians about invaders.


Grinding corn for meal, we get ready to make dinner. The ground corn is turned into batter and baked into Corn Muffins. The Museum People make Corn Bread with it at the end of the day.

This is where the Indians would sleep. It is very uncomfortable because I was sleeping on logs. Sleeping Indian Style


Very Scared Hedge Hog

The Hedge Hog was scared at first. He was eating meal worms when he was curled into a ball.

Hedge Hog Most of the time the Hedge Hog was curled up into a ball. When he wasn't so frightened, we took pictures. The flash didn't bother him at all.


Peek

The Hedge Hog was just coming out when someone moved and it went back into a ball. Up close, its little pricks look like dead grass on a Chia Pet. Its eyes aren't really black, but when you're close their brown. It makes snorts when you pet it.

Hedge Hog Where are my meal worms? The Hedge Hog smells its worms and turns around to look.


Lizard

This lizard didn't do that much. He was probably tired.


Millipede This is a Millipede. It's called that because people think it has a million legs, but actually it only has a few hundred legs.


Snake

We got to see two snakes from Africa. Their scales were really smooth, but we weren't allowed to pet the snake's head. This snake gets fed dead mice.

The African Frog was much bigger then the picture looks. He didn't do much, actually. African Frog


Tortois

That certain turtle is 3 years old and is from Africa. Its hind legs are a lot smoother then its front legs. The glare of the flash (on the camera) makes the turtle look lighter then it really is.
Turantula

The Turantula looks very hairy. It didn't do much either.
