Well, we didn't spend the night in the museum, but the museum came to us. Thursday 6 August Nathan, from the Monte L. Bean Museum at BYU, came to SNAP with three of his animal friends. It was great fun and educational at the same time. While Nathan got ready Sister Burns read to us from the scriptures about the creation, and SNAP friends shared personal experiences with animals.
Sister Burns reads from Genesis
With some help from our friends
Ready to see some animals
This is going to be interesting
We learned how animals depend on each other for survival
A little reassurance from a friend
This little guy is Thunder
He's a box turtle
We got to touch a couple of the animals
The hard shell is for protection
Just a gentle touch
An alligator?
Nope, it's a blue tongued Australian skink
His name is PJ and his blue tongue is for protection
Nathan with Monte
Monte is a Ball Python
Some of our SNAP friends are afraid of snakes, but not Nathan
Nothing to fear here
That's not so scary
The beautiful pattern in her skin is camouflage for protection in the wild
Pretty exciting
Look who just got back from Nauvoo
Thanks to Nathan for sharing, and thanks to everyone who came and enjoyed the evening with us.
