Museums!

I realize I probably have an average readership of 0.5 people, and with the rate I've been updating, I'm sure that number is quickly dwindling!  Here's the thing . . .  I can either live my life or blog about it . . .  Of course if I never do anything to blog about, what would be the point?

Mid-September, my sister, Ellie, and I took our kiddos to Jackson, MS.  You see?  Ellie's oldest daughter, McKayla, has juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.  She was diagnosed at 18 months, and it has been a journey for all of us.  We attended a juvenile arthritis family fun day, which was quite informative, and garnered us tickets to the Mississippi Children's Museum.

Passed out in the mole den!

Oh!  We could have spent all day here, but, alas, we had another rather large item on our agenda.  So, off we went, next door to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science to look at dinosaurs, among other things.

Petting a tortoise

Ellie, Cadence, McKayla, Aaron, & Me (Adrianne)
Aaron was far too afraid of the animated dinosaur to look at the camera!

Who knew you could ride a dinosaur?

And now to my average remaining reader population of 0.25 persons, please stay tuned for other great adventures . . . like meeting Iron Man, going to the fair, and visiting the corn maze!
