Buddies and Bones

Iguanasaurus skull, found in a coal mine in Belgium. Archaeologists found 39 fairly complete skeletons in the same spot.

Yesterday we spent the afternoon and evening with our friends the Sewall's. They made the trip over from Flitwick, and we traisped through the rain to the Sedgwick museum. 10 children, 4 adults, and lots of bones.

We were amazed at some of the fossils that had been found nearby in our area,


Much to his delight, Andrew discovered that there is a reason that this museum is nicknamed the 'Bone Museum'...



Puzzles were done~


Stools were needed to see into the cases; Meredith did her best!


Friends~




Special souvenirs were had~much to the delight of all the children (and we've just confirmed that ALL of them took these rocks to church with them this morning)


Back to the flat for dinner. We were proud to squeeze 10 children around our table. A record (although Meredith did sit in her stroller~).

The only problem with the Sewall family, is that they don't live closer! Our children sighed as they went to bed, 'when are we going to see them again? We already miss them!' We so enjoy their friendship. God is good to us.

We love to see our family so happy and having fun with our friends! You sure seem to have packed a lot into the day, and a Lisa meal to top it off had to be the BEST! Thanks for spoiling my brother and his sweet family!

Love, Nanc
