A Land Before Time |

We had a sweet day at the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville. Our Aunt Jan and Uncle Herb spent three hours with us exploring every nook and cranny. There was so much information specific to Georgia in the Rock and Mineral Exhibit that we will have to go back and really learn what is beneath our feet.

Kayla had a high time.

We were amazed by how tiny you feel standing under this cast of a skeleton.

I think Kayla only started to realize that these weren’t just creatures from cartoons.

What did Uncle Herb and Kayla discover?

A large exhibit about motion. I wonder who used this bicycle to zoom around town!

A quick trip to space.

Kayla wasn’t sure she want to go with me.

First trip to the moon!

A beautiful time with beautiful people.

This was to demonstrate how thick the layers of the Earth are in relation to each other. Aunt Jan was disappointed to find out that there wasn’t a ball of duck tape at the center of the Earth’s core holding everything together.

So much beauty.

This piece of amethyst was as long as Bekah. (But probably weighed a whole lot more!)

Geological regions of our state.

I wish I had caught the name of this. It looks drawn, almost like cotton candy.

I snapped this picture simply because I liked the color and shape. I did some research and found out that arsenic can be extracted from Orpiment.

This was one of the neatest things. Something to go back for. The Periodic Table of Elements laid out with recognizable objects that contain or require those elements. This would have helped me so much in high school!
