Day Twenty-Five: The Natural History Museum of Cleveland

After the waterpark, we headed down to the Art Musuem.  The parking garage attendant said that the minivan would not fit into the parking garage -- clearance 7'2" -- and to park at the Natural History Museum.  Once the children saw the dinosaur outside, they decided to bag the art.

While we were there, we took a walk through an outside enclosed area where the "live animals" were kept.

Toward the end of the trail, Salem said, "A bird just fell out of a tree."  He picked up a starling who had obviously been just injured. 

Salem scooped up the bird.

Rob went to look for a staff member of the museum to see if they could care for the bird.

The staff never came.  Salem held the bird and spoke gently to it as it dies in his hands.  Then, he placed it in the woods and covered it with a few leaves.

When we left the museum, Salem said, "I named the bird 'die-ey' because he died."
