Weekend Recap
Hope you had a great weekend! We sure did. To end our week with dinosaurs, we went to the Science Center! They have a great exhibit of Sue the T. Rex. Sue is the largest, most complete and best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex ever found and she is visiting our local Science Center.
My sweet dad came with us! It was so helpful and fun having him there. This was the best picture I could get of all three of them!
This next picture makes me laugh every time I see it! Look how tiny Troy’s head looks compared to Sue’s! Yikes–I’m so glad I’ve never encountered a beast this large. The head was rotating around, so it was fun to see all the different parts of her head. Here are some fun facts about Sue:
- She was found in 1990 in western South Dakota.
- Usually T rex skeletons are missing over half of their bones, but Sue is actually 80% complete!
- The skull was nearly 5 feet long and most of the teeth were still intact.
- Sue’s bones show that she was 28 years old when she died, making her the oldest T rex known!
Wesley’s favorite part about the trip were the snakes. I can’t say I loved it, but he was obsessed with them! I suppose they are a fascinating reptile. I just hope he doesn’t one as a pet someday!
Troy loved listening to different bird calls.
We also created a rocket and launched it, using the force of air. It was fun to see how far the rocket would go!
Wesley loved this wall of balls and crazy gadgets.
Troy helped create a dam.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. Can’t wait to go back!
A new career and a move…big changes in store for your family. I pray that they would be positive ones and that your home would sell quickly and you would have as peaceful a move as possible.
Thank you, Sharla! I appreciate your prayers.
My son has a book about Sue that he LOVES me to read to him. He would be over joyed to see her! What a fun weekend!
Praying for a smooth transition for your family 🙂
That’s adorable! We may have to find that book 🙂 Thank you so much for your prayers!
What a great dinosaur week! My son wanted to read Dinosaur Dig this morning and I thought of your week! Good luck to you in your move and I look forward to seeing your adventures.
That is so great. Thank you so much!! Love hearing from you and thankful to have you as a reader!
Oooh, what a great day. We have a science museum for young child nearby and it was brilliant. My 5yro came out at the end of the day and announced that ‘it was a funny playground cos it was indoors. When are we going to the museum? ‘. Congratulations on new job for hubby, we will pray for you from here. Can only imagine the joy moving house with littlies in tow will be. I wish you all happiness in your new adventure.
That is wonderful!! Thank you so much. We very much appreciate your payers. Yes, it will be an adventure for sure! Hoping it won’t be too hard to keep the house clean with two little boys. I’m sure it will all work out!
