Birds birds and dinosaurs!

On Friday Nico got a package from Grandpa Russell with a nice surprise in it, a deck of bird cards with pictures and information about the birds on it. Nico promptly started memorizing them. I was also surprised how many birds Guy knew. He said he grew up learning birds and talking about birds.

Going through the bird stack with Daddy

At the end of Sunday the stack on the left are ones he knew by heart.

The game we played in the car on the way to church - see how many birds you can spot and then tell everyone what kind of bird you saw. This didn't work for most birds, because they were too far away and flying. BUT, we did see geese!

On Wednesday after school Nico and I went to the Discovery Center because they have SUE there. Sue is the largest T-Rex skeleton in the world and it is stopping in Boise for a while. No longer afraid of dinosaurs??

They had a lot of exhibits about dinosaurs to interact with. 

Nico has been making up knock knock jokes and other jokes, but he doesn't understand quite yet what makes jokes funny. Knock knock. Who's there? Tree. Tree who? A tree fell down and no one pushed it!
