Our next stop was the Montshire Museum of Science on the Vermont side of the Connecticut River which divides New Hampshire and Vermont. We left the museum to get lunch and went in to New Hampshire but lucky for all who view this I didn’t take any pictures of the boring fast food place since there are again waaaaaaay to many pictures. The place is just so darn interesting and Caelun had an outstandingly good time. Everything is hands on. I think the geeky teacher parents had even more fun than the little person- okay I know we did. They have even added a water feature sine we were there last.
First we have to roust the boy.
“Really it is time to get up?”
The entrance to the museum.
There were lots of large tanks with fish and turtles. Those were pretty darn cool.
Here we got to see how bubbles of air move differently in different liquids.
Then we got to build things.
This had air coming out the top of each pipe. you could reconfigure the air flow and make foam balls fly up in the air.
Golf balls head down a maze showing us how gravity works.
More air flow- just enough coming out to suspend a beach ball.
He loved the indoor tree house.
More gravity experiments.
Caelun and daddy at the tree house.
This is about how color is made. Spin the wheels to make purple and orange.
This was the BEST- BUBBLES!
Mommy gets in on the action.
We love Rube Goldberg.
So many springs and things.
What a neat globe.
Puzzles!
More fish.
This ball showed us what Jupiter is like. 
A moth made out of moths.
How land masses shift.
Time to catch our breath.
A giant butter fly and a REAL giant snake skin.
Guessing which fossil is which by touching them.
We can see the Connecticut River and the water feature form the window- Let’s go!
On to the water!
We follow the river.
Cool animals and bubblers.
Waterfalls
Make your own fountains.
Moving on…
Big sprayers!
Now to really get wet!
We packed up soggy and happy with the green mountains in the background.
Bye bye Mountshire!
On to the next adventure.
More beautiful mountains.
