Let's start you out this way, did you know that Killer Whales are actually Dolphins? We went to the Exploration Place in Wichita to see the Whale Exhibit that is there. This exhibit is from museum in New Zealand and the whales in the exhibit are of course also from New Zealand. We were unfortunately not permitted to take pictures in the exhibit. They had a model of a Blue Whales Heart (the Largest Whale (is a Baleen Whale) and Animal in the World), for the kids to climb through. It was the actual size of the Blue Whales Heart. We also learned that Baleen Whales have two blow holes, where Whales with teeth only have one blow hole. It was a fascinating field trip. Edward really seemed to enjoy it.
Welcome Family and friends to our little spot in cyber-space. Enjoy reading about the ins and outs of our homeschooling and parenting experiences.
