Last Monday (March 22) the kids were out of school for "Quality Teaching Day". I am still a firm believer that if you are going to call it a "Quality Teaching Day" you should be spending that day actually TEACHING in a quality manner. Don't try to dress it up to impress me, I can see right through it. Just call it like it is, "Teacher Prep Day". I understand, teachers need time to prepare, I don't have a problem with that. So the purpose for the fancy and not completely accurate terminology eludes me. But that's not really the point of this post, so I will just shut up now. Well, I can't really shut up or I can't tell you the purpose for the post. But I can stop talking about why in our world today everyone is so confused because we can't just simply say what something is and leave it at that. OK SHUT UP! On with the post!The children and I needed to get out of the house and go and do something fun. A few months back I won 4 tickets to the Ancient Life Museum. I was savin' 'em up for a day exactly like this. So we loaded up and headed out. We had so much fun. Did you hear me? SO MUCH FUN! We were there all dang day long. We went through the whole museum and then went back through it again. The kids loved it. And I loved watching them love it. You will have to excuse the quality of the pictures. Brilliant me, I left the camera at home so these are from my phone.
I learned that I am a little rusty on my dinosaur names. When Zac was little I could name all the different dinosaurs because we had so many dinosaur books and dinosaur toys. My dino days are long past and when Addy was asking me names, I really couldn't think of them. I was like, "Uhhh, I know long neck is not right....what is that dinosaur called?" Funny how your brain loses track of things over time.
Addy kissing a dinosaur:
We played FOREVER here. Twice. The first time through my kids were the only ones there and they loved learning about erosion all by themselves.
They had to share the second time around:
We also dug up dinosaur bones for forever. Twice.
Some of us even insisted on making sand angels:
Shark attack!:

I already learned about erosion LONG before this mom. We learned about it about in the middle of
3rd term. It is when something like a rock breaks down.
Emily- I love you! You are so funny.
Is this the place we went when Kristy and I were there?
That is such a great museum. It's been forever since we were there, but we spent hours and hours doing all the same things.
