November field trips
This past November, our family took a really neat field trip. There was this great outdoor dinosaur exhibit in our city, so we had to check it out. It was at the botanical gardens, so we got to see that too. We had a really nice time.
These were the cute butterfly benches at the entrance:
 
And on to the dinosaurs. Unfortunately, I don't have the brochure with me, and there is no way I'd remember which dinosaurs these are, so--sorry. 
I am pretty sure this is one of the T. Rex class ones:
Some birdlike ones in their nests.
I remember the park ranger saying that these had some turkey related name.
Stegasaurus?
Another T. Rex class, I believe:
A. in front of an herbivore:
Velociraptor?
The "chubby" looking one is the herbivore, the mean looking one is the carnivore:
Resting at the end:
It was a beautiful autumn day as well. Wonderful trip.
We also went to the George Washington Carver Museum on another November day.
FQ is still camera shy but at least he's in the pic:
K. and A. under a display of GWC's life:
In the lobby:
Part of the children's exhibit:
Maybe one of them will be on this "Wall of Inventors" one day:
The museum was small but neat. It had been here for years and I had never heard of it! My friend who doesn't even live here asked me about it. So my advice to everyone is--check out all the museums in your city! You'll probably find a nice small one that is free or charges very little! This one was free.
That was it for our November excursions!!!
God bless,
A.H. |

| You Are a Mac | 
You are creative, stylish, and super trendy.
You demand the best - even if it costs an arm and a leg. |
|
| You Are Austin | 
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.
Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick |
| You Belong in Paris | 
You enjoy all that life has to offer, and you can appreciate the fine tastes and sites of Paris.
You're the perfect person to wander the streets of Paris aimlessly, enjoying architecture and a crepe. |
| What Your Pizza Reveals | 
Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either.
You aren't particularly picky about pizza. It's so good... how could you be? You fit in best in the Western part of the US.
Your taste in food tends to favor what's rich and comforting. You prefer food that will definitely satisfy you.
You are eclectic, stylish, and totally random with your choices.
You are deep and thoughtful. You should consider traveling to Paris.
The stereotype that best fits you is guy or girl next door. Hey, there's nothing wrong with being average. |
