Disney!

We participated (yes, all 5 of us) in Disney's Give a Day, Get a Disney Day promotion! We were lucky enough to find a neat local opportunity that really used my experience and skills and was a lot of fun for all of us. We put on a workshop about archaeology at the Gull Wings Children's Museum here in Oxnard! While not as well attended as I'd hoped, the director was sufficiently impressed to ask if I'd be willing to come back again, and I was happy to say yes, and to offer advice on creating an interactive exhibit on local archaeology. The kids helped with the demonstrations and handing out information about local resources for kids who want to learn more about archaeology and history.


And as a result we all have a voucher to go to Disneyland for free! What fun! Eli has never been and is very excited about Autotopia, and Alia went once when she was 2 years old! We are going next week and roping in a friend to go with us (we really need 2 adults with this crew- especially with Eli who is likely to disappear and be found hours later in the bowels of some equipment after causing a power failure and shutting down the entire park).

Plus the 'big' kids would really like to go on some 'big kid' rides for once- they are bored with the teacups, and with 2 adults one of us can go with them and one can spin around with the little kids!
