Week of May 11-17

This week is "Bear Awareness" Week at the Museum of Life and Science. There are almost too many bear activities at the museum to list, so if you're interested check out the schedule for the week here.

This will also be another busy week at the Museum of Life and Science with end of the year field trip coming through. Monday will be your best bet, with only 3 buses of kids, while you couldn't pay me to go near the place on Friday, when 1357 students are expected on 27 buses!
