At the Museum

I let Charlie set the pace.

We went to the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Natural History Museum today.

He was allowed to touch the Meteorite and the Stalagmite and Yes , I bought him a Dirt Cup with a gummy dinosaur on top

Charlie was a was a terrific museum goer.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Between

Friday afternoon at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the Hall of Architecture.

With three of the grandchildren, one of them is always “between”.

This week’s challenge is hosted by the Danielle Hark founder of a blog I follow- 

“Danielle is a photographer, writer, life coach, and the founder of the online gallery and nonprofit Broken Light Collective, which empowers people affected by mental illness using photography.”
