We were ecstatic that THEE Dr. Scott was coming to the Natural History Museum in Pittsburgh this past Saturday. When we got there, it seemed that Dr. Scott was awaiting our arrival. It's as if he knew we Harrises were coming! He was out in the hall dying to answer all of my kids burning questions--BUT then Becket and Gretchen froze, they shied away. I think this was the first celeb they have come in contact with, besides their mother. Nonetheless, it was cute to watch them get all jittery, giddy and then,so chatty, that they wouldn't SHUT UP!
We listened to his lecture on dinosaurs. He said that dinosaurs actually stem more from birds instead of lizards. He also talked about the way Utah used to look, to quote, "It was a paradise--an island like the Caribbean." Hard to imagine now, but I guess it's true with all of the dinosaur findings they found particularly in Southern Utah--Escalante area.
As Dr. Scott would say: "Get outdoors, get into nature, and make your own discoveries."
Your #1 fans!
Oh! I forgot to mention that during the lecture Micah got her leg stuck in those foldy, theater chairs. She screamed and I pulled, she screamed, and I pulled. She wailed and I yanked! It was bad. Those seats and two year olds, don't mix. Not the highlight of the trip.
