Grandma Moments today with Fillerup's

I took the Fillerup kids to the Dinosaur Museum grasping the fact that the Earth has been around millions of years! We looked at all the fossils, dinosaur skeletons, and I was so amazed at the size and age of each specimen. The dinosaur that was 110 ft long was like it was pictured with a long neck, gray with a long tail as the symbol of Sinclair Oil Co. I used to see those green and white metal signs along the railroad as we traveled by train to Chicago when I was four years old.



I believe that was my first sight of a prehistoric animal, the dinosaur and grew up only thinking that was the only kind of species. There were hundreds, as I learned at the museum today! One thing I did see is that "Grandma Rocks." I saw so many different items there at the exhibits that I have in my collection of rocks, crystals and fossils etc.


Someday I will have them all on display to show my own "museum" to my grandchildren. They will all be labeled too. I recognized many of them by the shape of them, i. e., the nautilus, orthosauras, ammonites and crystals just to name a few! The kids seemed to like it too; Luke was so good and stayed awake the whole time we were there. He fell asleep in the car on the way home. We were there almost three hours.

This is a sea shell I got and just imagine how old it really is. Ancient probably.
Just a post script here. I took a lot of pictures of the dinosaurs and exhibits and of Drew, Adam, Madie and Luquito. My camera needed to be recharged, so I virtually had no pictures at all to download. I recharged my camera and winged it with the fossils, shells and crystals I had just lying around my room. Really. :)
