This year for spring break I went to a museum called the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca. In the museum I saw bones of dinosaurs and mastodons. Mastodons are members of the extinct genus. Mammut of the order Proboscidea and form the family Mammutidae. They resembled but, are different from the woolly mammoth. I saw sculptures of very early humans that were life-size. I saw an exhibit that showed different forms of petrified wood. Petrified wood is a type of fossil in which all the organic material of the wood has been replaced by minerals that have retained the original structure of the wood. Some of it looked really cool. I also saw the bones of a huge whale hanging from the ceiling.
Also during my spring break I celebrated my birthday. It was on April 20th and I turned 11 years old. I also have a twin named Brandon who also turned 11 years old, but I am exactly one minute older than him. We celebrated with a party at our house. My brother had some of his friends over. I got money for presents. We had chocolate cream filled cake and ice cream bars. It was a good birthday!!
