Morrill Hall

We went to Morrill Hall this last Saturday. They have dinosaurs, fossils and all kinds of other science related things. This weekend there were a lot of kid related activities. The boys had so much fun!

First we got to see this big elephant. The boys laughed at the elephant's butt.




 We got to see this big bird to! It reminded me of the bird from Up! The one Russel named Kevin.


They dug for dinosaur bones to.


Right after someone from a booth gave them each a Jolly Rancher this character came up to them. It's probably my favorite photo from the place; except they have chipmunk checks.


They also loved the booth where they got to go rubbings. Isaak was pretty quiet the whole time, but not at this booth. He said, "I love doing wubbings! I do them at preschool all the time!" Mica did one rubbing. He colored on top of it. Isaak did about 5 wubbings.


The dinosaur room was fun! They not only has full models in there, but they had an activity for kids. Kids put on a tail and walked in the sand to see how their footprints looked with a big tail dragging behind them.
 


Mica dressed in clothes that are worn where it's really cold!


Guess who wants a pet? They both do. Isaak talks about wanting a frog. That I can do. I've told Mica, "Nothing furry, I'm allergic to all things furry." I was advised to not even have a hairless dog or cat. My allergies are that bad. Mica got this idea he wants a bird pet. No to that to! I told him he could possibly have a lizard, frog, fish, turtle, or a naked mole rat. Now he wants a naked mole rat. Gross! But what are our options with me who is allergic to everything? Here's Mica with his pretend pet bird. I wish I could just keep pets as pretend. Sorry I'm not a animal person. It's probably because I've always been allergic to all other people's pets. For a long time I've been pushing them away, so I can breathe. I hate when my lungs close up.


We did a lot of other things that day! The boys loved the room about tornadoes! We even got a Science Fair project idea!

Mica got to be a weather man! It's funny to see where he stumbled and he was obviously reading the whole time. ;)

Morrill Hall - Lincoln, Nebraska



  • We traveled an hour away to visit a few museums. The first stop was Morrill Hall in Lincoln, Nebraska. 
  • Daddy loves this museum because he loves fossils of pretty much anything. He also helped dig up a plesiosaur with some of the paleontologist's in Lincoln.

Summer Plans

  • Daddy has a one man art show coming up in July.
  • We're not going on vacation until early August. Right before school starts up again.
  • Lincoln, Nebraska, which is one hour from here is where we are going. We're going to visit their Children's Museum and then onto another museum, Morrill Hall that is packed full of dinosaur bones.
  • After that we're spending one day at The Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, MO. Then it's back home we go.
  • We wanted to go to South Dakota this year, but time is cut short. I'm kind of glad because Isaak's still pretty little to travel far.
  • Our long term goals for vacations are Colorado, so the kids can see some bigger mountains and maybe someday we can take the kids to a beach. I'd love to make my way back to Savannah, Georgia some year. Taking the kids to the beach would be fun! We live way to far from one. I'd like to wait until they can remember those trips.
  • Go Graham Go and Jolly Mom have some special summer giveaways coming up. Read about ways to receive extra entries here.
