Dino Day

After adventures in ballet, we had promised Colin that we would all go to the Dino Museum. He asked every day that week if it was Dino Day. And FINALLY we made it to Saturday! It ended up being a kind of rainy day, so the museum was a great destination.

Apparently even more exciting than the ACTUAL, REAL DINOSAUR FOSSILS in front of them, are the (very limited) touch screen computers. That they can't actually READ. Whatever.


We did enjoy a wander through all the dinos. The museum re-did all their dino displays five years ago or so and this was my first time through since then. Very impressive! Great dinosaur collection!

We moved on to some more "hands on" stuff!


Checking out the beaver kit. Real beaver pelt!


And a jaw bone....of what I forget!


Then we dug up our own fossils!




Seriously cute archaeologist!




Then we made our own "collections" for display of things we'd want in our own museums.


We finally MADE the kids walk through the Impressionists exhibit. It wasn't a hit. We'll just pretend it was because they were hungry. Not that they inherited their lack of "art lover" traits from me....

Love the dinos! Fun day!
