Yesterday we took a trip to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving point with the whole Waddoups clan, including Boston. None of us had ever been there before, so we knew we were in for a treat. Here we are (Brett is being eaten of course) at the entrance.
There were some seriously amazing exhibits there and we would highly recommend it. (For those of you around here, admission is only $2 on Tuesdays in August.) I always forget how huge the dinosaur bones are. One of the cooler things that they had was a room titled "Our Universe Begins". It is a room full of stars and nothing else. It feels like you are walking through space. It was really interesting to feel that way. One of the more fun aspects of this museum is that it is kid friendly like no other. There were so many hands on exhibits, including a water area where you could practice erosion and a real dino dig at the end. Here is the dinosaur that Brett attempted to make.
We had to get a family picture in front of the Triceratops since it was our favorite dinosaur when we were little. Brett's favorite animal now is a rhino, which is very similar and more in line than mine. Why do I like giraffes? Witness the useless things on the tops of their heads. Plus I got to kiss one. I'll find the picture and put it on here. The museum didn't end with dinosaurs either. They had some other really cool bones, like a mammoth (as well as a bunch of people trying to kill it, looking like they were losing). We had a great time, even though it kind of messed up Kennedy's awesome schedule that she was putting herself on. We also broke down and bought her a really cute book called The Ravenous Beast. It's adorable.
PS - Here is a picture of my uncle Scott and cousin Orion holding the real Olympic torch. They live in Beijing and have tickets to a couple of the events.
