Visit the UW Geology Museum
1215 W. Dayton St., 262-2399, http://www.geologymuseum.org/ (Mon-Fri 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Sat. 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Free.) —Besides its extensive mineral, rock and fossil collections behind glass, kids can touch rocks from a time when there were volcanoes in Wisconsin, see rocks and minerals that glow, and stand under huge mastodon tusks. Great for those like my daughter who want to be a Paleontologist!

Sunday

Martha Speaks - Whitewater

3:00 PM, Tickets - $15, $13, $9
If your children or grandchildren are fans of the PBS Kids TV series Martha Speaks then they will love this performance. Martha is an amazing dog who ate some alphabet soup and suddenly was able to speak! This provides all sorts of fun for the family especially when Martha wins a radio trivia contest and an all-expense-paid trip for everyone. But there is that rule about "no dogs allowed." See how this clever story turns out. Martha Speaks is the adorable musical based on the book series by Susan Meddaugh. THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY - Will be on hand to talk about adopting pets and if available will bring homeless pets to meet!
