Kate got her first taste (or should I say "smell"?) of the Monte L. Bean Museum yesterday. I couldn't discern whether it was the forest green carpet, or the succession of dead animals (or a combo of the two) but there was a definite odor of "old" there. Anyway, we went with Kelly and her kids. I hadn't been since I was a kid so it was fun to go back.A couple of cool finds:
A "white" black bear; supposedly this little guy had some rare genetic disorder making him white. Maybe he's just a white bear...did they think of that?
The two-headed snake found right here in Utah County. The sign explains that he/they died from starvation due to being unable to swallow.
And Shasta, the famous Liger, once displayed at Hogle Zoo (those were the good old days).Anyway, fun (and free) times. After the animals, we ate some icecream at the creamery. I was a little disappointed that there were so few flavors to choose from (no sherbets), but the chocolate icecream tasted like a Creamie so I was utimately pleased.
You know, I've never been there as far as my memory serves...maybe I should give it a try sometime. The pics are fun.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, flashback! I used to go to the Bean Museum as a little kid, and I remember the stale smell even back then. No updated carpet, huh? Yikes.
