Morning at the Bishop Museum. See nice shoes and clothes?

Ben was really interested in this huge statue – afraid to get near it until big brother showed him it was ok. We spent the morning at Bishop Museum with Gramma and Richard. I had an appointment arranged with a malacology (shell) technician to ask some questions about shells we’d found around here and hopefully set up a time for her to come to base and teach a small group of kids interesting things about the fossil reef. She was really nice about showing Sam and I around her vast collection. Then we went to the science building where we checked out their model volcano – always a big hit with the boys. Then lunch – gave Richard his first spam musubi!
