Coyote Point

Shortly before we left for Florida we took a little field trip south of SF to Coyote Point. It's this great little nature and motion museum for kids. It look small when we got there but was filled with enough activites and animals to occupy us all morning long.

The inside was full of hands on displays of gears and motion. There was one display that you had to turn different knobs to move the ball though the multi geared course. Timo loved this actvity and spent most of his time moving from one knob to the next, moving the ball. He got pretty good at it too...

Cameron really like putting the gears together and watching them work. If you connected them all correctly, the bell would ring on top...once she figured that out, the bell was going off non stop!

There were many other machines to play around with and it was so hard getting the kids to move on to the next new machine...they tended to camp out at each one until they could figure out how it worked...just like their Daddy does...

They offered a short show-in-tell and storytime there where the kids got to see this large lizzard (forgot the real name). They sat and watch the teacher tell all about this creature but couldn't sit still long enough for the storytime.

I finally talked them into going outside to see the animals...coyotes, snakes, frogs, otters, foxes, bobcats, etc...so many to see. Oh, and big birds too!
We will defiantly be back...it's just a short drive out of the busy city and fog and into sunshine and nature!
