Mighty Maidu Museum

Most people probably think "galleria" when they think Roseville, but I, Little Man, think "Maidu Museum"!



The Maidu Museum and Historic Site, located within Maidu Regional Park, are awesome!  Can you find me in the above photo?  Hint: A is for awesome!



There are tons of awesome displays and artifacts inside the museum.  I learned so much that my brain was ready to explode for being so full!



Photos aren't allowed inside the museum but there are plenty of photo opportunities outside. 



Strolling by the giant acorns.  Acorns were a key part of the Maidu's diet. 



They ground acorns in these spiffy bedrock mortar holes.  Mmm, acorns.



There were supposed to be petroglyphs on these rocks but I couldn't see them.



I sure did enjoy the short nature trail, though.  Gotta swing my green plastic arms while I walk!



Awesome!

Summer in the city Part II

I wasn't quite done prepping all the veggies.



I fried up some mushrooms and onions, which were fresh from the grocery store.



As was the awesome green lettuce.



All these fabulous veggies were for burgers!  I love my burgers with sesame seed buns!



I worked on layering my burgers.  The first one had cheddar cheese, hamburger, breaded jalapeño slices, onions...  The next one would have pesto, tomato...



My spiffy assortment of burgers!  My big friends and I had a jolly good time chowing down.  Summer is such an awesome time to spend indoors with the air conditioner blasting and just eat!

Summer in the city Part I

Hot town, summer in the city!  Getting sweaty while picking my veggies!



Well, the lyrics of that Lovin' Spoonful song don't exactly go like that but summer means lots of awesome fresh garden delights! 



I made a delicious pesto with basil fresh from the yard.



I sliced some fantabulous, juicy red tomatoes.



I even made a fresh tomato salsa and breaded jalapeño slices!



Come back for Part II and find out what I did with all these fine veggies!
