Well, it has begun. Summer. This week I opted for a PBS show to base our activities around. Dinosaur Train. It actually grows on you and I find myself referring to Dr. Scott the paleontologist as my expert on all things dinosaur.
Last year, I scored an amazing deal on a pass that gets our entire family into the local dinosaur park, the train museum and a nature center for an entire year. It expires the end of June so I am putting all of the activities that can happen using that pass as #1 priorities this summer.
Today we visited the Dinosaur park and saw all of the different species and fossils and fun stuff. The kids had a blast. It was the hottest day of the year so far so I am glad we went early. Plus, it is almost deserted right after opening! :) When we got home, we had a carnivore lunch of scrambled eggs with ham and cheese. We decided that we don't want to be carnivores. Ugh.
Tomorrow we are making fossils and then re-discovering them later on in the day using plaster of paris, toy dinosaurs that always seem to be laying around (until I want to find them in the morning), a under the bed storage box, used up paintbrushes and a thing of play sand. And we're going to have an omnivore lunch. :)
Wednesday is movie day - Land Before Time - easy day for Mom. And a herbivore lunch.
Thursday we are heading to the train museum to fulfill the train part and having dinosaur chicken nuggets for lunch.
Friday is my day off! :)
Today I did make my own discovery (as Dr. Scott says we should) - I will not be taking all of my children with me to the grocery store without my hubby there EVER AGAIN! Way too much of an adventure!
