After a peaceful night's rest (Bleu slept the night through), Holland made breakfast … and planned a day at the local museum, "to put a smile on my Baby's face" :-)
He's working our way through my Bucket List.
He really is the greatest!

Holland made a bacon-cheese-biscuit breakfast; YUMMY!
But first we stopped at the Sports Store downtown to make a few purchases - I brought it up a few days ago when I spotted a billboard I knew would interest Holland, and added that to my Bucket List; which is becoming {our} Bucket List; he spoils me, and I spoil him ;-)

Belemnites were marine animals belonging to the phylum Mollusca and the class Cephalopoda. Their closest living relatives are squid and cuttlefish.
Scaphites, extinct genus of cephalopods (animals related to the modern octopus, squid, and nautilus) found as fossils in marine deposits. Because Scaphites is restricted to certain divisions of Cretaceous time (the Cretaceous Period) it is a useful index, or guide, fossil.
Baculites are commonly referred to as walking stick rocks. They are actually an extinct cephalopod genus with a nearly straight shell. Baculites, genus of extinct cephalopods (animals related to the modern squid, octopus, and nautilus) found as fossils in Late Cretaceous marine rocks. Baculites, restricted to a narrow time range, is an excellent guide or index fossil for Late Cretaceous time and rocks. The distinctive shell begins with a tightly coiled portion that becomes straight in form, with a complex ammonite sutural pattern.
