We were surprised to be one of only 3 or 4 groups visiting this new park/trail thanks to a low readership of the newspaper. This is probably one of the only times I’ve been happy that people don’t read print journalism anymore, we had the place to ourselves and maybe even took some samples for further inspection. I am assuming Devin will be posting more detailed info about the actual fossils and rocks found here, but I am here to report that fun was had by all and that it was a gorgeous day!

It’s the weekend now for us and it’s even starting to get sunny outside, but this coming from the non-weather predicting half of the family. We’re having coffee, listening to this, and getting ready to pack up a certain papier-mache volcano to take to a certain house for storage (or deconstruction for its chicken-wire resource.) In honor of the weekend/Saturday and all of the fun it promises, I give you this:

Man do I have some episodes to catch up on.

Being the (mostly) positive person that I am, I was elated when introduced to a news source by a friend of mine. Happy News is my kind of place. When I need to catch up on the what’s happening and am not feeling like I can brave the usual mega-news sites I just go to Happy New and pick a few stories. I call it ‘selective positive news consumption’ and I am not at all ashamed.

It even has science news.

Ha.

Here’s my other source of news.

So Friday I had the day off and decided to get a little hair cut. I got bangs and I like them a lot. When Devin came home I asked him how he felt about the change and this is the conversation that followed

S: Did you notice I got my hair done?

D: Uh-huh.

S: So what do you think?

D: You look like that one ugly girl, but better I guess.

S: What?! You think I’m ugly?

D: No, I like them. (long pause) I like them because you look like Garth.

S: So I look like an ugly girl or I look like a man.

D: Uh, you look nice.

This is the man to be exact:

Happy Sunday!

This time last year.

We were at the best party ever.
