Ice Skating, Australian Animals & Elephant Poop
I've gotta admit that sometimes it's pretty sweet living in the nation's Capitol. Great amenities.
We took the kids ice skating at the Sculpture Gardens on the National Mall today. Actually, I'm not sure if you can call what we were doing "skating" but you get the picture.
Then we pooped into The National Museum of Natural History. A few museum reflections:
First of all, God is infinitely creative. The animal kingdom is exhibit A. God must really love variety!
Second, Australia definitely has the coolest animals. Plus I love saying their names! Platypus. Say it several times. Don't you feel better? Kangaroo. Makes you think of Captain Kangaroo. And then there is my all time favorite. And you've got to say it with an Australian accent: dingo! I love saying that word so much that I wish we had named one of our kids Dingo :) But that would have been a selfish decision.
Finally, African elephants poop eighty pounds per day. I knew that before going into the museum, but sometimes you need to be reminded of the important stuff in life :)

You "pooped" into the National Museum? Gross.
I caught that too. Highlarious!
And how funny posting a comment on your own blog in the third person kind of.
can't wait until i can go to dc to poop in the national museum - and as a family nonetheless!
Dude--the fact about elephant poop has officially changed my life! P <><
Oops :)
Now I'm totally confused.
Who posted the Mark B comment? I didn't post that comment but it links back to me.
Twilight zone.
Maybe it was that one other Mark Batterson that you googled on Sunday!!!
Tim Elzea...are you posing as Mark B?
From an Australian, let me heartily endorse our crazy array of Aussie animals!
Looks like someone is pretending to be you!

Nope, I am not posing as Pastor Mark. Although, thanks for the idea...I think I might have to try that sometime...or NOT!! :)
Cadaens, I heard about that new Bible...I think that I might have to go check it out.
So, at first, I thought Mark went inside to use the bathroom... nice. Come on, who hasn't gone into a National Museum of Natural History to just go to the bathroom. Raise your hand people.

I'll raise my hand to having had to use the bathroom in the museum. :)
