Play dates and Poop.......

Bet that got your attention!

Today was Jordan's play date with some of his new classmates, only 4 kids showed up, including Jordan and the little boy who planned the play date.

He got to meet two little boy's and one girl. Two of the boys he met at Meet the Teacher night, they all played and got along great. I got to meet the parents and it was nice to have parents whose children are starting kinder also. We were able to answer each other's questions about information we missed the other night and share all of our worries about them starting school!

It was a nice start to the beginning of school and I can't wait for Monday!

After the play date, Kelvin, Aliyah, Jordan, Tjuana and I went to the Arizona Museum of Natural History. The kids had a blast and we did too!

There was so much to see there and it was very interesting because everything at the museum relates to Arizona and the Southwest from from the beginning, 4.5 billion years ago to right now. Most of the dinosaur fossils were found right in Southeast Tucson!

We saw everything from Dinosaurs, feathered and not, minerals, meteorites, mines, how the Hohokam Indian's lived, real territorial jails, extinct sea creatures and......Poop! The kids and Tjuana, even got to pan handle for gold.

I would be here all night going into details about everything we saw but Jordan's favorite thing was the roaring T-Rex, Aliyah and Tjuana's favorite was panning for gold , Kelvin's favorite's were the crystals, fossils and the Southwest gallery. My favorite and the main reason we went to the museum was the P.S.I. exhibit. For some reason I though it would be the boy's favorite but surprisingly it was mine!

It has many names: scat, droppings, feces, dung, stool, road apples, number two, pellets, caca, and manure but poop is poop any way you say it. Explore poop’s fascinating journey – from its beginnings to the variety of ways both animals and humans use it.

Visit the museum and become a Poop Scene Investigator (PSI) and figure out which animal did the odoriferous deed.- AzMNH's website!
