Two hours at the Museum

We joined some fellow home schoolers for the Bugs Bugs Bugs talk.  It was a great time of hands on activity and we also had a 30 min window of being in the bugs gallery on our own as a group.

I had forgotten just how much there is to see and do at the Melbourne Museum. I think that when we return from South Africa I will definitely take the time to get a museum membership so Sir N and I can spend an afternoon once a month at the museum exploring !
