Dinosaurs!

When I was little the word "museum" meant "boring." That is no longer the case. If you tell Tyler that you are going to a museum, his eyes light up in excitement. This was the case two weekends ago when we joined Grandma and Grandpa C at another science museum.

The main exhibit was dinosaurs!!

Mostly the main exhibit consisted of elaborate video games where you got to be various dinosaurs and attempt life in the Cretaceous. The goal was to make sure your dinosaur was fed, hydrated, and uninjured. Personally, I enjoyed the carnivorous dinos over the veggie-saurouses! I wonder what that says about me...

It took a few tries, but eventually we figured out the tricks and finished the game. I'm not 100% sure, but this must not have been a successful attempt...

There were all sorts of neat things to do including dressing up like a dino.

And, posing for more pictures!

Tyler even had the chance to dig for dinosaur bones.

The museum wasn't all dinosaurs. The exhibits included all sorts of science experiments including this hover ball. Both boys had a "ball" with this.

We're looking forward to our next adventure at another museum. What a difference 30 years makes!

I can't believe there are so many cool museums so close to you! No wonder you want us to stay longer when we visit!
