I took my preschoolers (and Flat Stanley who came to visit from Cousin Brennan's 1st Grade Class in Utah) to the Arizona Museum of Natural History in Mesa and saw the predictable exhibits; giant dinosaur skeletons, a hallway of star galaxies, weight differences between Mars and Earth. But I was surprised to find this one: 
The poo exhibit, complete with bell jars containing replicas of various animal waste. There were microscopes with slides of poo that we could look at to see what the animal had been eating before dropping his sample. If there was grass in it then he was an herbivore.
And there were poo facts smeared on the walls which helped us to learn interesting facts that we really didn't care to know.
Can you imagine being the guy that makes poo exhibits for musuems? How you end up in the scat replica business? A strange job for sure.
But there are definitely worse jobs than that. Just google to find an entire crap-based industry flourishing out there. Does your kid need a job? Click here.

I love how you take a normal trip to the museum, and turn it into something completely unexpected.
Most people would just post pictures...not Jenna.
By the way, my sister came over, and I gave her a tour of the funniest blogs and yours won.
So the real question is: what was your kids favorite part of the museum?
That was gross!
Wow, we'll have to make our way over there sometime. My kids would love it!
We had no intention of hiding it from you guys.
Ummmm, what can I say about that???
Jenna, I hope you got my text message because you are the bomb! I can't believe all of the pictures, commentary and printouts you did for Brennan's class project. It was awesome and his teacher just loved it and showed it off to all of the other 1st grade teachers. It's a keeper! Thanks so much for what you did!!! Brennan had a huge smile on his face.
what a poopy day that must have been....did you all go home and take baths? playing around in all that poo.
ok, so that was SOOO gross! Omgosh who can stand this and WHAT a mistake for me to read this FIRST thing this morning when I am still pregnant and easily quesey! Ha ha Jenna, thanks for bringing us the "poop" on that exhibit;)
