I was photographer for a couple. They said their family take yearly Christmas photographs every year for 100 years. Afterwords the father shared a Santa thing with other visitors on the landing
Racquet, who was the source of much inspiration today, also helped a mother over come her fear of snakes. When she first arrived, she was like ahhh. But after realizing the snake was quite contained, she had an extended conversation with Ann about Racquet
Today there was a plethora of cute children. One of them I have feeling might work here in 15 years. He was telling me how they found all the animals in the case. And as I told him to have fun, he told me to have fun.
I talked with a 3 year old who loves space. I asked him if he has going to the Moon or Mars, and he yelled, “The Moon!” We practiced our best astronaut jumps, and his family joined in.
I met a lot of first-time visitors today. I had two women who were incredibly excited about everything we had in CHM, and a homeschool family that was obsessed with the Cave Plaza animals. Both groups were incredibly fun to talk with and had so many great questions.
We had a guest drive 4.5 hours just to see our Torvosaurus! Bill spent some time talking with him, and we even got Glenn to come out and share more cool information!
NURFC memory of the day for 12/11. A guest was telling me that these exhibits were bringing tears to her eyes because people are awful to each other and they should be kind to each other.
I had an interesting question asked that I needed to gather some data from the staff to answer. “Is triceratops the boxer or bulldog of dinosaurs?” The outcome was 2 for boxer and 5 for bulldog when I returned to the couple that asked the question.
A family came in and the child wanted to do the mission designer. The child was very engaged and wanted to do all the missions. Afterwords the mom thanked me for pulling out the mission designer and for even being open. She was grateful we were open. She was also excited to learn about the exploration units
It was very enjoyable to watch a guest get sooooo excited when Glenn came out to talk to him about the Torvosaurus. The guest drove 4.5 hrs to see it and got the extra bonus of getting to talk to Glenn.

After seeing Racquet stick his tongue out and lick, a young visitor did the same… Licking the inside of his mask like a snake
