You know, Bruce made a really insightful comparison the other day that pretty much summed up where I am right now. In effect, he said August is like the Thursday of the summer. When Thursday rolls around, you're really excited the work week is almost over, but you're also keenly aware of all the work you still need to get done before the weekend. Similarly, when August arrives you begin to anticipate the crisp, autumn days just around the corner, but you suddenly realize there are all these things --
summer things -- that you had planned on doing but haven't gotten around to yet. Oh, the grilling! The outdoor concerts! The lawn parties! Actually, I'm pretty sure Bruce wasn't regretting a lack of lawn parties when he made the comment; more likely he was lamenting that he is not as far along in his triathlon training as he had hoped. But, still, it was apt.
Anyway, it occurred to me we haven't been to the Museum of Life and Science all summer. A travesty. Particularly given the mist exhibit they have in the summers. To remedy that situation, Sam and I went early last week and then again, with Bruce, over the weekend.
First, a flashback. The museum was one of the first places we visited after we moved here last August. Here is Sam a year ago.
And here are some pics from our two recent trips with Sam.
Still loves the drums a year later.
We ran into Naomi from school!
Misty!
Our first time at the dinosaur exhibit. Don't ask me to name this one.
Parting shot.
