Natural wonders

The Boston Childrens Museum has saved us on many a rainy, snowy, or just plain no-other-plans day over the last four years, but with a new family membership to the Museum of Science, courtesy of Grammy, we are taking it to the next level. After all, we have important questions that need to be resolved, like, most recently, "Why is the Charles River wide in Cambridge and narrow in Boston?" and "why does rain make big waves in the ocean?", and let us not minimize "what kind of pudding is puddingstone made out of?" But our noble scientific quest was derailed as soon as we encountered the fossilized dinosaur poop. Not even the complete skeleton of a Triceratops could compete with this geologic wonder. The hunk of puddingstone came in a close second, but probably because of how much it looked like the dinosaur poop.
