Walking with Dinosaurs

The show Austin and I went to on Friday was a lot of fun! Since I couldn't take pictures, I've uploaded the trailer.



There was a narrator who talked about all the different periods and how talked about the dinosaurs. Of course, there was some science stuff I didn't quite agree with but it was a really cool experience!

Flashback Friday

Tonight Austin is taking me downtown to the Tucson Convention Center to see a show called, "Walking with Dinosaurs." We are both pretty excited even though we really don't know what to expect. But the whole going to see dinosaurs reminds of elementary school (I think 5th grade) when we went on a field trip to an exhibit called "Dinosaurs Alive!" They were these giant (to me) dinosaurs that were so life-like! I thought it was awesome!

I especially liked field trips because we always had to bring a sack lunch and Mom always let me take a Lunchable on a field trip. That was the ONLY time we got lunchables and I felt so cool! I don't know why I remember that so clearly. It's funny what our minds hold on to!

Anyways...maybe I'll take a lunchable with me on this field trip...

HAPPY FRIDAY!

April

Flashback Friday

Remember that time in college, when I went to Europe with some of my greatest friends and we traveled to four cities (Florence, Venice, Paris, and Frankfurt) in five days? We slept on trains at night and explored during the day. Yeah...that was fun. Next time, I think I'll spring for a hotel and a few extra days in each place. Oh to be young and carefree!


Traveling in luxury!

Flashback (way back) Friday

As I searched for a topic for my historical research in music education research study, I found myself taking many trips down memory lane. I thought about all the music teachers that have influenced me to be where I am today pursuing my Ph.D. in music education. This was not a wasted trip down memory lane as I found a wonderful person to write a biography on. I will not tell you who because I would like to finish it first!

So for today, I will leave you with this...my 8th grade pictures of me as head rifle girl for our school's marching band. I realize most middle schools do not have marching band but my teacher, Mr. Thomas, thought it was important. What a wonderful opportunity at such a young age. Even though it's been 15ish years since middle school (ouch), I still remember those experiences and know they sparked a love a music that would not soon go away.
