Back around the end of February, Dane and I spent an afternoon at the East Texas Oil Museum. Growing up in the heart of the great East Texas oil field, Dane has developed a fascination with all things oil...derricks, pump jacks, drills, etc. One Sunday recently, we ate lunch at Chili's with a couple from church. The man is a petroleum engineer, and Dane spent the entire lunch staring at the oil well outside the window and asking Pat questions about how it works! I love to see Dane's wheels turning when he's busy trying to figure something out, and I love to see him come up with designs and solutions when he's playing. Such a fun boy!!!!

Anyway, Dane had not been to the oil museum since he was a baby, right after we moved here, and he has been asking to go. So, one afternoon, I finally remembered, and the two of us had a fun outing together. I was afraid that he would get bored quickly and be ready to leave, but he stayed interested and asked questions and seemed so excited the entire time we were there. It was so fun. To their credit, the museum does a great job making it a really fun place for little kids to enjoy and really learn a lot about our area's history.
