New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science

Today we spent the day at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. They had a simulated walk through volcano, simulated cave, an "evolator" (a time machine that takes you back through time), and great dinosaur fossils. One of the museum guides gave the kids bones and they had to walk around and figure out which part of the dinosaur (and which dinosaur) they belonged to. We also were able to see an actual paleontologist excavating a fossil in the lab. There were a number of dinosaurs fossils displayed in the museum which had been found in
New Mexico. We also went to their planetarium and watched a show about the dawn of the space age. Great museum !

After the museum and before dinner we had to make a stop at PetSmart. Bentley- well … let me just show you :

Heavy Duty Cloth Dog Crate - Not a good idea,

For dinner we went to The Range on old route 66. Dinner was great! But the dessert… the dessert… I got butterfinger cheesecake. So you know the scene in “When Harry Met Sally” when she says “I’ll have what she’s having…” That was me… They have an on-site baker. His name is David. I told the waitress I wanted to take him home, she said she had already tried. The thing is I’m not really crazy about butterfingers. But this cheesecake… (maybe I should do a food blog? :O)

Tomorrow we have a vet appointment for Daisy. (1 year old teacup bunny- Chris says more like a teapot) Daisy has not been making any cocoa puffs. If you have ever had a rabbit, you know that they make lots of cocoa puffs. It’s been 5 days and we got Daisy her favorite hay, and still no cocoa puffs. So off to the vet we go.
