点评:We had another wonderful afternoon at the Burpee last week. My husband and I visited with our grandchildren.
The boys wanted to see Jane first. We enjoyed seeing her again, and intact juvenile T Rex uncovered by paleontologists from Rockford. It’s also cool to see a model of her head! Right next to her is an assembled TRex (full size) where it’s carefully noted which bones were excavated and which are modeled. We then moved on to see Homer, the Triceratops. It’s fascinating to see the heads of many Triceratops cousins, several of which are huge!
We then went upstairs where we all enjoyed viewing the well displayed minerals. Our youngest grandchild really enjoyed feeling them!
Then up to the 3rd floor where the kids got to experience handling several reptiles thanks to the kindness of one of the young volunteers. He was working with them and really seemed to enjoy letting the kids experience this. Our granddaughter kept saying “ oh wow!” (She’s 1 1/2).
As we were leaving, a couple of school groups had just left. The staff had just let out a large turtle to roam around the lobby. It kept following our grandsons. The staff members said it thought their shoes were good because they were green! What fun, we hung out for a while longer.
I encourage anyone who hasn’t seen the Burpee to experience it first hand.
翻译:上周,我们又在伯比博物馆度过了一个美好的下午。我和丈夫带着孙子孙女们一起参观。
孩子们最先想看的是简。我们很高兴再次见到她,以及罗克福德古生物学家发掘出的完整幼年霸王龙化石。看到她的头部模型也很酷!就在她旁边,还有一个组装好的霸王龙(全尺寸),上面仔细标注了哪些骨骼是挖掘出来的,哪些是模型。之后,我们去看三角龙荷马。看到许多三角龙近亲的头部化石真是令人着迷,其中一些头部非常巨大!
然后我们上楼,欣赏了陈列精美的矿物标本。我们最小的孙子特别喜欢触摸它们!
接着我们去了三楼,孩子们在一位年轻志愿者的帮助下,体验了触摸几种爬行动物。这位志愿者正在照顾孩子们,看起来非常乐意让他们体验这一切。我们的孙女不停地说着“哇!” (她一岁半。)
我们离开的时候,正好有几个学校团体也走了。工作人员刚放出一只大乌龟在大厅里闲逛。它一直跟着我们的孙子们。工作人员说,它觉得他们的鞋子很好,因为鞋子是绿色的!真有趣,我们又在那里待了一会儿。
我鼓励所有还没体验过波比跳的人都去亲身感受一下。
