The Dinosaur Museum

The Sam Noble Museum of Natural History is one of our favorite museums.  We have been going there for many years.  It is just astonishing when you turn the corner and see this ginormous apatasaurus standing there. The one that I love is the pentaseratops.  It sits by itself in a little corner.  It is the biggest skull found intact in the world.

He is amazing!  I could just sit there and look at him.  We have been going there so long that we have pictures of the girls growing up:

We'll add some more memories at the dinosaur museum soon.  We haven't gone with the Posse in a while!!

My Lofty Summer Goals

Hey There!
We are into the second full week (for me) of summer, and I'm finally ready to get this show on the road.  I am determined to not waste my summer!  Here are some of the things I want to do this summer:

• Ukulele Practice.  I received my little jem for my birthday in September.  I've picked it up a few times and had some good practice, but not as much as I would have liked.  Most of the year I would see it sitting there, and I would just sigh and wish I had a little time to visit.  So now I will!  I'm learning chords and how to read Tab.  I use this ukulele tuner to make sure I'm in tune, and am slowly learning songs from  the website Ukulele Tabs.  Loving my little thing!
  
• Craftiness.  There are so many things I have put off until the summer!  Suncatchers, brush holders, candle making, sewing.  Lots of things.  
• School projects.  All those things I didn't have time to do during the year--organizing folders, finding new activities, making worksheets, etc.  Keeping myself in check so I don't do too much.
• And last, but most certainly not least, PLAY WITH MY GIRLS!!  They have been patient all year, so we are trying to get in as much time together as possible.  Lots of laughter and fun ahead!

Not too many goals.  I think it's gonna be a great summer!
