Saturday, we managed to check two items off our summer bucket list!
I'm usually snapping a million pictures, but this weekend I opted to just be fully present. That means this is the only picture I have from the NC Natural Sciences Museum:
We went to see the new dueling dinosaur exhibit, and that was the dino we designed. We were all super impressed with the exhibit! The museum hosts one of the top paleontology teams in the country, and they had found two, intact dino skeletons: a triceratops and a tyrannosaur. It was fascinating to learn about what they were discovering from the fossils, but we were excited to learn part of the exhibit is their actual lab. We could watch them work on the fossils and talk with them about the whole process. It was super cool. We also loved revisiting old favorite exhibits.
Brad also finally got to use his father's day present:
We love the smoker, but have a propane flat top will let us grill with less of a time commitment, and hibachi can be back on the menu!
We ended the day with s'mores in our fire pit. After the cooking, Evan got to play with some of the fire sticks Carol and Todd sent him for his birthday:
The blue and green flames were pretty cool.
We also snuck in some pool time and a lot of down time.
This week Evan has wrestling camp, and Issa is helping with a dance camp. Brad and I are jamming in a ridiculous amount of work so we can have an actual vacation next week. We are hoping the fun weekend carries us through this grinder of a week!
