Don't be confused this isn't a museum about beans. The Bean museum is a life science museum on the BYU campus. (Rebecca started to chant go Utes as we drove up!) Rebecca, Benjamin and I went with Chad's parents (Boyd and Lolly). I had always heard of this museum but had never gone. Rebecca has been once before. First of all, FREE!!! (Accept for the gas it takes to drive down to Provo.) This museum is huge. It has every animal from the Antelope to the Zebra.
Some animals are from the Hogle Zoo (that have past on after many years of entertaining children.) They have a beautiful exhibit of many butterflies placed together to look like one large butterfly. 
Everything is so well organized. The museum has some very exotic looking animals. There is a nice atmosphere that invites families. There are actually three levels to explore, we found this out when we took the elevator from the third floor to what we thought was the main floor (or the 1st floor). But the 2nd floor is the main floor so we got to explore the 1st floor that had even more exhibits but is probably used mainlyfor classrooms. Rebecca's favorite part was pushing all the buttons and pushing Benjamin in the stroller. Benjamin's favorite part was playing with the velvet ropes that surrounded the exhibits. 
After we walked around the museum for a few hours we went to the children's room which had drawers and drawers of blocks and lincoln logs and books for children to explore. Everyone was tired, even grandpa!!

I am so proud of Rebecca, thank goodness she loves the utes! The pictures were also hilarious, especially of Ben staring in fixation at the Lincoln logs and poor pooped out Grandpa.
I love the Bean Museum. A funny thing to tell the children is that the animals are sleeping, and if you count to three and clap they will wake up. I had Ethan sorta' scared on that one several years ago. It is also great to go get some ice cream at the Creamery when you are done.
Thank you SO much for the veggies!!!
Rebecca's hair is so cute!
