The mini-adventure to Lincoln for mom’s upcoming birthday started with a show at the Morrill Hall planetarium

Ella got a little restless and hung out in the lobby for a bit until the show was over

On to the main attraction- dinosaurs! Des points out the woolly mammoth to Eleanor

Des’ first encounter with a T-Rex (yup, lots of pointing)

In awe of the allosaurus

 Big mammoth, tiny Des and Ella

Having a slice at the institution of Yia Yia’s

Skipping nap (gasp!) in favor of a visit to the Lincoln Children’s Museum

Right after or before Des sent a small lego plate up and jammed the conveyor lift

Really cool interactive, hands-on topographical projection (e.g., Des gets to play in sand and it looks really cool)

Desmond’s closest “sportsball” exposure to date

Ok, that’s a bit bigger the dad’s motorcycles in the garage

Lots to explore

Brother and sister sharing the pet washing station at the vet’s office

Capt. Desmond Shreffler reporting for launch and space exploration (barefoot, naturally)

If you look closely, this Cessna is piloted by two small llamas
