Yesterdays Field Trip

We went to the Pink Palace with some friends and looked all around this exhibit. It sounds gross, but it truly was fascinating to find out the many uses of poop. The kids were able to step on a scale and find out how many hours it takes an elephant to poop their weight, race dung beetles, and find out in what part of the world black tea is made out of caterpillar poop. The exhibit also talked about the diseases that can be spread through poop and why septic tanks were developed. We also saw how some people use it to make their homes and cook their food, as well as how it is used to grow things. On the way home, we talked about how amazing God is that He made fruit appealing to the eye, so that animals would eat it, seeds and all, and those seeds would later come out to grow new trees!

The Pink Palace museum is also fascinating. We cruised through at break neck speed, but were able to take in some of the history along the way. I hope to take the kids back and take our time going through it all!
