That’s who I’m going to meet tomorrow – well, me and a couple busloads full of fifth graders. I’m so excited. I’m scared already, just from looking at the pictures. I mean, really – do you think these three boys ever have nightmares?
See, because, what I am seeing tomorrow is a cast replica – but, those sweet boys are looking at the real, for real, actual ….head of a T-Rex!
Maybe it didn’t help that I watched Godzilla with my son yesterday! 
The images of Godzilla are helping Sue ‘come alive’ for me, you know? I mean, good gosh! Sue’s hips are 12 feet high! Just her hips!
I have been doing some reading up on her and I am getting more excited with every page that I read. The Field Museum, in Chicago, Illinois, with the help of many sponsors – purchased Sue for $8.4 million!
Her debut was in May 2000, and she even had a special piece of music written just for her big debut, by The Chicago Chamber Musicians. The piece is called, “Tyrannosaurus Sue: A Cretaceous Concerto”. I just love the sound of that! I mean, the name, that is. I haven’t actually heard the piece. That would be really cool if I could find it on YouTube and then I could post it here for all of us to enjoy together!
Ok, I’m sure I’ll have lots of good stuff to report after ‘meeting’ her – so for now…
The Museum field trip was one of my most favorite grade school trips. We went to the Peabody at Yale. I didn’t at the time I was haging out at an Ive League istitution then. Lot of fun and great memories.
have fun…did you see they just found another huge dinosaur in Argentina!!!
That sounds so awesome!
I hope you and all the fifth graders had an awesome time.
Debo – That really is so funny that you were in the midst of such ‘greatness in education’ and didn’t even realize it! I love that!!
Deb – Thanks, we did! I’ll have to get the pics up soon! And no, I hadn’t heard that – very cool!!
Retta – It was fabulous!
