Lucy


I just learned about the exhibit in Seattle last week and this is the last week it is going to be in the States. Max was off school on Friday so we met my mom in Seattle for the day to go see it. Flying free is nice. This exhibit is of Lucy and Ethiopia. The first half of the exhibit was about Ethiopia. It is very closely related to stories in the Bible. They think that it is where the garden of Eden was. They claim that the Ark of the Covenant is there etc. it was very cool. Max liked feeling the difference between a bone and a fossilized bone and fossilized dinosaur poop. The second part was about finding Lucy who was one of the first animals to walk upright. they found her in Ethiopia and believe that she was 3 million years old. The neat thing about the find is that over 40% of her skeleton was discovered. It was really cool to see. After Max went to Grandmas house for the weekend and I came back to Phoenix. You forget that the rest of the country isn't 78 degrees in the winter.

  1. We absolutely loved playing with Max even if it was only for 24 hours. Britt asked me when he came back from the airport that he and Max were wondering if they could have a playdate at his house. I said sure. Wish you were closer so we could make that a little easier. So fun to see you and catch up for a bit.
