A Day At The Dinosaur Museum

Today I took the kids to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. We had never been there before so we thought we'd check it out. The kids had a fun time looking at all of the fossils and dinosaur bones that were on display. Caleb carried around his favorite map of the museum and led us through it. These are some things we saw and did.


Izzy loved crawling through this little tunnel! It was dark in there but she had no fear. She didn't want to miss out.

There are alot of fun displays of animals fossils and bones. Caleb thought this shark had "crazy and scary" teeth. He wanted me to assure him that the shark wasn't real.

There is a fun water and sand adventure that Caleb loved. You dig in the wet sand and look for buried dinosaurs.

Caleb looks so little standing next to this enormous creature!

Just a cute picture!

There is another fossil digging pit for the kids to play in. There were little brushes for the kids to brush off the sand and unveil their discovery.

I tried putting Izzy in the sand to play too. As you can tell she didn't like it. Most kids like to get all dirty but, she didn't even want to touch it. She's all girl I guess!

Caleb soon got bored of all of the brushing so he decided to make "Sand Angles" instead

He also enjoyed playing the dinosaur games on the computers. He could've stayed there for hours!

After we were done with the museum, we thought it would be fun to get some icecream at the Thanksgiving Point Soda Shop. We ran into my friend Sarah and her cute little girl Andie. It was fun to catch up with her!

The whole day was so fun! Caleb's already asking me when we can go again. I told him it would be a while because it was too much money. I just love having my camera with me all of the time to catch moments like these!
