We have been so busy with the museum move & expansion that I forgot to share this fun photo!

I got to go on a Fossil Recovery Exploration dig alongside local comedy legend Mr Wicks last month!

Fun times on the dig & looking forward to seeing his comedy show in Venice next February!

Time spent in service of others is simply time well spent 🦈

Working on some shadow box displays this week to bring to the educational event at Mote Aquarium in Sarasota later this month.

Seeing the excitement on the kid faces, as we explain all of the types of fossils that can be found in this area, never gets old!
