We Are The Dinosaurs

The week after last week's storm was interesting to say the least. After a day at school with generator power, Lily and Jack were home from school on Tuesday and Wednesday as the power stayed off for most of the neighborhood until Thursday. We were lucky and kept power all week!

On Tuesday, Lily and Jack spent some quality time at the pool and on Wednesday, Marcy took the kids to the Natural History Museum. They saw lots of dinosaur bones - Jack is still talking about the dinos. They also visited the butterfly pavilion and then rode on the carousel. It was a great day!

On Thursday, the power returned and the kids went back to school. Friday was a half day at school and more time at the pool. Saturday was the second to last tee ball game and a trip to the local orchard for some peach and flower picking. The kids had a great time. On Sunday we had a day around the house and then we were off to dinner to celebrate Grandma Phyllis' birthday. Everyone had a great time and Jack was very excited about the birthday cake.

On to the pictures and video. See you next week.
