Summer Vacation- You never know what you'll learn

The kids are on summer vacation and have to earn their tv/ app/ game time and have about 8 ways they can do it. One of the ways is to visit a museum. This week we went to Deer Valley Rock Art Center and the Heard. I used to work at DVRAC and was thrilled that both kids said they liked DVRAC better than the Heard even with the Heard's Lego exhibit, Build.
At DVRAC there is an exhibit in the Green Room that has a desert supermarket. My kids took it a step further and decided they would cook with the food items. I was the customer in their restaurant as they prepared a variety of items and told me some of the benefits. Apparently prickly pear is very good for your cardio system and they are convinced we need to get some prickly pear fruit and pads for their grandpa who had surgery in April. The funny part came when they were going through some of the cards and came across a turkey vulture. Being a little silly I ordered a turkey vulture leg. When they delivered my "meal", I read the back of the card and learned that turkey vultures keep cool by defecating on their legs through a process called Urohidrosis. Once I read this, the kids informed me they had cleaned the turkey vulture leg and still expected me to "eat" it.
