Noah's Ark

I've been wanting to take the kids to the Noah's Ark Exhibit at the Skirball Cultural Center for awhile now, and we finally went. It was awesome!

When we first got to the ark, Elena seemed pretty amazed.

She played with a miniature one for awhile.

The animals were neat.

 

Samuel loved the animals, especially the plush ones he could carry around and put in the little rooms.

 

 

I think this was my favorite part of the exhibit. By cranking the lever you make it rain and then the water level and ark rise up. Elena's doing it here, and Samuel was pretty mesmerized by it. He also liked looking at the lightning that was produced by turning a wheel. 

 

There's also a section where the kids can help build up the side of the ark, and Elena did that for awhile. It was a great afternoon and so much fun for the kids. We'll definitely be going back at some point.
