Dino Dig

On Friday, we packed up the boys and a picnic lunch and headed over to Leesylvania State Park for their Dino Day. The kids got to dig in a bucket of dirt for something paleontologists never find - an entire dinosaur, skin and all. There was a big dinosaur puzzle and dinosaur stamps to create their own dinosaur skeleton. Equally exciting, there were a few playgrounds and the Potomac riverbank to explore.

Friday was the last day of Operation Exhaustion - a carefully planned and executed campaign designed to minimize Josh's time with a girl in our neighborhood who is teaching him some bad habits. It was successful as he didn't play with her at all this week - but I am exhausted to the point of tears, so we are going to have to try another tactic next week. I don't really have a problem with him playing with her some of the time, but they have spent way to much time together this summer.
