| Making a "magic wand" |
 |
| View of the Hudson river |
 |
| Spinning map of the river |
 |
| Sam's favorite activity - a stamp scavenger hunt about the animals and plants who live in the river |
 |
| Topographical map of the river valley |
 |
| Spectroscopy demo - looking through special goggles to see the color spectrums that various heated gases make. Sam also really liked a kids' planetarium show. |
 |
| Also part of the museum is Glenview mansion, a historic 19th century estate. |
 |
| Dollhouse in the mansion was a highlight. Sam had fun figuring out how the inhabitants of this house would get from room to room through various doors and stairs |
 |
| Magic wand in action! |
 |
| The view of the opposite side of the river, the Palisades, where we hiked last week. The lighter-color rubble of rocks in the middle is not a waterfall, but a place where a giant part of the rock fell off of the cliff several years ago. |

| Lunch in the nearby village of Hastings with a view of the river and the Palisades |
