Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum - December 2010

While mom and dad were visiting we braved the cold and went out to the Museum of Ancient Life down at Thanksgiving Point.  I had been there years ago with students, but never with my own kids.  The kids had a lot of fun, but definitely have attention spans of little kids.  They had fun looking at the displays though.  Here are some pictures from our trip.



The kids in front of the dinosaurs in the lobby.



The kids could see someone actually working on uncovering one of the fossils.  Pretty neat!

This was a big fossil of a whole bunch of little fish. Pretty cool!

I think Koa was more thrilled with his reflection than what was actually in the case.

We go all the way to a museum and the kids find the computers.  :)

The sand table was a big hit with the kids.

T-Rex.

This was my favorite.  A large sea turtle.  How cool is that!?

Wouldn't want to meet this in the ocean! 

Kai "reading" the sign to us.  He would run his finger across and was making up what the sign said.  Very cute!
