This past Saturday we went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. We wanted to see "Lois" the Corpse Flower. We got to the museum at 9:10 a.m. but couldn't get tickets to see the flower until 5:45 pm. Tickets were selling like crazy. But if we purchased a membership to the museum we could see the flower at 9:15. Hello, Members of the HMNS!!!
Waiting in line in the Butterfly Museum
Nice roaches, please stay in the glass case
Pretty Butterflies
I remember doing a bug project in 8th grade. We had to find the bugs and tack them to a board. Oooh, the memories.
TARANTULA!!!

Lois the corpse flower. It takes 7 years to bloom and once it does it smells like a corpse. Luckily, we got there a day after it had bloomed so it smelled like trash.
Then we were able to tour the rest of the butterfly museum.
Check out this couple's cameraS. Yes, they both had one. My Cowboy told her that she had a nice camera. She looked at his and told him well you have a nice one too now you just have to start accessorizing it. Oh, sure!!
Just us
Exploring...
Dreaming...
Intriguing....
DINOSAURS!!!!
We took our adventure to the basement of the museum. We found the Archaeopteryx:Icon of Evolution exhibit. We didn't have a ticket to see it but the lady let us in anyways. We thought if we were now "Members of the HMNS" we could get in anywhere, ha!!
We had to leave the museum to see Cowboy's family for my birthday dinner. But we will definitely be going back soon.

We spent the rest of the weekend enjoying time with both families celebrating my birthday.
Have a Happy Hump Day!!
That is such a cool place! We went about a year ago. Stinky Lois has been quiet the celebrity !
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! What day was it? I want to take my kids to see the butterflies and dinosaurs, hopefully before school starts again. You are brave going to see the stinky flower. You'd think it'd be prettier than that for all of the hype!! ha ha!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. That is one weird flower. I have never heard of it, but now I am intrigued!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun and interesting day. That's an amazing flower and I had never heard of such a thing. Too bad it couldn't have smelled like chocolate or cookies or honeysuckle or anything other than a corpse, lol. Eeeewwweee!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Hope you had a great one! I love going to the Houston Museum of Natural Science! When my mom and I went a few weeks ago the corpse flower hadn't bloomed yet, thank god!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! It looks like you both had a great time at the museum. We didn't go to see Lois, but we went over Spring Break to the butterfly museum. It was very cool with all the games and interactive boards. Unfortunately, littlest, who is in love with butterflies, wasn't too keen on being surrounded by them.
ReplyDeleteHey... Big oops! I missed your bday! Crud! Well, happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteSFA had the flower a couple of years ago... this one bloomed different from what I remember SFA Horticulture team doing... they both are pretty yet stink like "gag me with a spoon!" haha
Glad you got to go see it... looked like fun!
