Feild Musem and Brock's moves

By -
I can't believe we've never taken Brock to the Field Museum. I wanted to check out the tattoo exhibit they had (and got to watch celeb tattooist Oliver Peck live tattoo in the makeshift studio they had there!) and of course it was a great excuse to get Brock to a new place. I actually don't have any pictures from our first visit. He loved it and it was a much better deal to become members so the picks below are from our second visit. Just note that Brock's highlights from the first visit were the penises at the tattoo exhibit (silicone bodies that tattoo artists adorned) and the highly excitable Tibetans shown on the videos getting their tattoos "blessed".

 Underground exhibit. We are bugs at the bug restaurant. Brock is our waiter.

 Cicadas hatching from their old skin...

 We've been watching a lot of Shark Tank lately. We thought maybe the "Cicradle" (business proposition via Holly, trademarked name via Matt) would be a huge success. 



 ok. It's time to talk about dance moves. The toddler phase has hit Brock hard. He gave G&G Omaha quite a webcam last week and at the tattoo exhibit Brock cut loose several times among the inked models. This week, we found a totally forgotten room dedicated to Lichen at the Field that served as amazing private dance studio.
 


What you are looking at here is Brock's signature move. The donkey kick.

Kindergarten graduation!

 Ah, the pomp and circumstance of a Kindergarten graduation.  The wonderful Principle Korth at the podium... The event began with the graduates singing a song to their teacher: And then the main event! Then we adjourned to the playground for cake and popsicles.  Alice with one of her closer friend, Chloe. And her AMAZING teacher who we will miss so much, Ms. Heintzelman! It has been a really good year! Alice has bloomed in reading and math and particularly in her interest and understanding of sociology and science. She even made a few friends! I can say I learned more from than even Brock's first year of public school. I began volunteering on Friday mornings in December after her school received 100 new refugee students from Venezuela (her school went from 200 to 300 in a day!). I did not want to volunteer in the classroom, but instead wanted to help out with admin, but that was not where humans were needed, so I ended up in the neighborhood third grade class. This was way outside

Camping Disc Golf 2017

Uh. When the going gets rough, the rough roughs it! And off we head to Michigan for our annual camping and disc golfing extravaganza. We are last minute campers and it worked to our advantage this year. As everything else was booked, we ended up at a little "secret" campsite we know of in western MI called Timberview. The nice old man that runs it got sick of loud campers, so he pulled all listings off of the internet. It's not on google maps. We were lucky enough to drive by one year and just stop in. And now that we have a kid, he set us up in the nicest secluded campsite, of which we took two pictures (we're bad at this sometimes.) There was wonderful hiking, an assortment of mushrooms to discover, and a giant hill of majestic old-growth pines that Brock aptly named "pine tree heaven." It's also quite refreshing to be in a site where you are actually allowed to gather your own firewood, and it's low-traffic enough that there is plenty.

 Brock was given the assignment of memorizing the poem "If", by Sir Rudyard Kipling. It is a wonderful poem, here was his submission to his teacher. They were also called on at random times through out the year to recite various verses impromptu in class. So deep.
