Planes and more planes and some more planes and ... do you think there might be a spaceship?

Well Mommy just pointed out that Evie and me need to do more visiting around here and that we didn't post anything for a Really REALLY long time.

And I thought AIRPLANES!

Mommy got the information for this show which is REALLY close so we are going to go (yes!) and think you should too. Unless airplanes make you sick. Then you shouldn't.
But maybe you should try cause you can go for a ride in a REAL old plane and if you go to the site it counts down to the day... very cool.
That's all

NATURE listings

So mom found us this list of local Nature Centers. Now to decide where to go first...

So many choices. Which one would you go to first?

Art hunt part 2

In honor of the DIA's 125th anniversary - we've hunted down the next painting.

Mom says this one is Judith and maidservent with head of Holofernes.

Anyone else hunting artwork?

The art hunt is on!

I think we talked about the DIA 125th anniversary art hunt! Go to this link for more information. But hurry, its only on through end of November! (https://sites.google.com/site/diainsideout/)

Well just outside of the Cranbrook Institute of Science is this cool art piece!

Its The Plaza San Marco by Canaletto

Go see what cool art you can find (and hey, these pieces you can touch without getting yelled at!)

Dinosaurs come to Bloomfield Hills!

So one of the great things about this area is Cranbrook (mostly cause while it always has cool stuff - about once a year or every two years they get cool dinosaurs. And if there's one thing Evie and I love... well its dinos.

So Evie and I finally got to go to the new dinosaur exhibit at the Cranbrook Institute of Science. Dinosaurs: Land, air and sea! http://science.cranbrook.edu/

Wow it was cool and spoooooky! So we went and saw the little play area first - till evie got comfortable with the noise. She's a baby so it takes her longer. They have these sounds as if you were actually there with them and your gonna get attacked! (Okay maybe not)

Mommy was impressed, I could immediately pick out the Dromaeosaurus, Protoceratops, Allosaurus and Elasmosaurus, velociraptor and some others. Then there were a bunch I hadn't heard off, like this one thats related to the dromaeosaurus but not its a bambi...saurus thingy.

Anyway it was really cool and we didn't have enough time (we went after school and only had an hour). We are harrassing mom to go back.

Dinosaurs!

We were all ROAR and they were all Roar and there were other ids and then BOOM ex- exc-all gone then more and they are really cool!

Oh and don't forget to look up!

Not so much travel lately

Gosh, I just realized we haven't been going anywhere recently. Well, not physically anyway.

But Evie and I have been traveling lots by book and little pirate ship.

Well we were just at our grandma and Juba Stanley and they gave us a globe. (Though daddy keeps pointing out that some of the places on it have changed names now). So the other day we traveled to Hawaii and to different places in Michigan. Though its lots harder to find a good playground on a globe than it is in real life.

Travel with daddy

So Evie and I, we like to go to Waterford Oaks. Its near, its fun, its got lots and lots of things to climb (which we like).

Well, I had forgotten that we've never taken daddy there. I remembered when he yelled at us to get off the rocks. If you haven't been there before, there are lots of rock walls to climb - the cool part... they are actual rocks. Sometimes this seems to confuse parents (like daddy thinking we needed to stay off them). But I explained that here we could climb everything... once he understood... daddy had fun climbing the rocks up and down too. I think Eve sums it up best...

Daddy=Mountain Goat

Now go climb some rocks!
