As most of you know- our family loves dinosaurs, especially the king, T-Rex!  Our interest in dinosaurs has brought a lot of excitement to our lives and has given us the opportunity to meet some very neat and interesting people.  Our good friends at the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research have helped us out so much by their great friendship and knowledge of fossils.  They were instrumental in resurrecting "Bucky" the T-Rex and getting him to a great home at Dinosphere at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis in Indianapolis, Indiana.  The Children's Museum is such a cool place- whether you're a kid or not, and we highly recommend it to all of our family and friends.

For those of you not familiar with dinosaur fossils, it's about as easy as walking out in the pasture and picking up what you find laying there on the ground.  But it also depends on where you are and what formation you live in.  We are thankful to live in the Hell Creek Formation, an area where fossils can be found just about anywhere.  Bucky has uncovered numerous fossils, including 2 T-Rex skeletons, several Duckbill dinosaurs, and Triceratops.  He discovered "Bucky" the T-Rex north of Faith, South Dakota on his dad's ranch in 1998, and then discovered another T-Rex that same year.  Dinosaurs have really become a big & exciting part of our lives!  Jami has really become involved in fossil collecting, and she looks forward to each chance we get to go out digging for stuff.  It has been a lot of fun for all of us.
