Bucket Listing

School may be in session, but we are still working on enjoying the fun things on our "summer bucket list".  I am also trying to soak up every last minute of time with my girl.  Today we went on "an adventure" to a new science museum.

With her map in hand, our tiny girl walked through the giant dinosaur exhibit in complete awe.  Her eyes were big, and she wasn't quite sure what she thought of the enormous sets of bones.

We officially have a map obsession going on.  Whether in Disney, at the zoo or visiting a museum, the map must be consulted regularly.  By consulted, I mean we stop, sit down and spend some serious time reviewing the lay of the land.


Most of the exhibits were far beyond her understanding, but pushing buttons was a big hit. 


A major highlight of our day was panning for gems.  She LOVED panning through the sand and water in search of tiny, bright gems to collect in her bag.  Our girl is a true gold digger!
We spent the most time pretending to be palentologists. We apparently had hidden abilities in this area, as we had quite the fossil find.   You might soon read about us in the newspaper, as we discovered an ancient set of dinosaur bones.  We'll happily sign autographs.
