Dino-mite!!

Do you know where the World's Largest Dinosaur Museum is? Here in Utah, at a place called Thanksgiving Point. That's right, the whole world. So Thanksgiving Point runs a deal in the summer called "Two Dollar Tuesday" where you can get into the world's largest disnosaur museum for... you guessed it, two bucks. So Tuesday, my friend Courtnie and I braved the crowds (and I do mean crowds, at least a million people) and took our little ones to explore the Museum of Ancient Life.

It was very interesting and the kids loved seeing all the fossils and skeletons. they have a lot of hands on exhibits, where you can touch and feel different things. There is also a big sandbox, with water where you can build a canyon, but at least 300 kids were already playing there, so sadly for my children, we didn't get to partake of the germs, I mean build a canyon.

Kids not being scared of a giant shark. They tried to tell me this was real, but there's no foolin' me!

Like I said, the whole thing is really hands-on, and this exhibit showed where certain dinos probably lived.

Here are Brynn and Ethan making their own dinosaur with velcro appendages. Kind of creepy, 'cause you could have a headless, 5 legged creature, but whatever.


So on day 2 of being off track, we already have had 2 educational field trips (Monday we went to This is The Place State Park, but I forgot my camera). So now we can do nothing else for the two and a half weeks left before we go back. I wouldn't want my kids to learn too much.
