The Smithsonian

Well, the snow is still on the ground and it is cold outside, so after Christmas we were looking for some in door activities. Mimi and Gator took Lucy, me and Mom to the Museum of Natural History and American History. Boy, were there a lot of people. I guess everyone else had the same idea. In any event, there were a lot of things to see and we all had a great time.

Here I am looking at some of the interesting displays in the section about the ocean. Gator and I are trying to find all the sea creatures that are hidding themselves in this sea weed.

Next we went to see the insects. These were live grasshoppers that were moving all over the display. Creepy!

The part I like best was the trains, trucks and automobiles. Here I am looking at one of the train models with cutouts.

They even had a real steam engine. Wow! Just look how big it is.

I even got to sit in one of the cars. As you can see I had a great time and can't wait to go back and see the rest of the museums. Gator says there are a lot of them. Maybe next time it won't be so crowded.

Well until next time, when I have more pictures of our stay with Mimi and Gator, I hope you are having a great day and a great holiday season; I know I sure am. Love, Thomas and Lucy

Merry Christmas!

Lucy and I hope everyone had a great Christmas; we know we sure did. This is a picture of Lucy sitting in her new office. She said it was fine for now, but she is already requesting an I-phone and a computer. Just joking. She had a great time at Mimi's and Gator's.

This is a picture of Lucy in her bright red Christmas dress. We are getting ready to go to church. Unfortunately, my picture didn't turn out too well. I was complaining about something.

Here I am on Christmas morning. Santa was so kind to Lucy and me that I didn't even know where to start. Here is a picture of me and my Mom reading from a book that will let me read to myself. Isn't technology great. Anyway we had a great Christmas. Gator is playing with his new camcorder and as soon as he figures out how to edit the videos we will try and post some of them. Again, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Lucy and me. Love, Thomas
