Animal Grossology at the National Geographic Museum is so much more than what its name implies. The exhibits range from the truly gross to the exceptionally fun and interactive. As soon as I walked through the door I wished I had brought my great-great-niece and two of my best friends. It is truly a show for borth the kid and the adult with the kid inside.

Mr. Toad Lives in My Backyard
Thursday, June 30th, 2011 by adminOur Mr. Toad is a much more gentile version of our natural friends. A toad’s life in nature, while equally exciting, is perhaps filled with far fewer wild car rides (partly due to her lack of appropriate digits and also her diminutive size).
