So we were busy with visitors and in an internet outage when Emery's birthday hit last week, but I thought the grandparents might be interested. We moved field trip day to Tuesday and rather than starting the field trip after lunch, blew off the whole day of school. I'm hoping things are as I remember them as a kid--those little victories meant a lot. Nothing could ever top a snow day, but I'm trying. Emery chose the Natural History museum for the destination. The big draw for most kids here is the room full of dinosaurs which Emery did enjoy. His big thrill was the mineral room which we visited last, once everyone was good and tired of looking at fossils and taxidermied birds. There were at least 30,000 specimens arranged in cases that were mostly above Greta's eye level, and we looked at every last one of them. Emery was estatic, Greta held it together.
After field trip we had dinner at home and cake when Dan got home. Rob, Yoshi & Brandon showed up shortly thereafter, so we went out for another dinner and brought the presents. Kids were thrilled to stay up so late!
