Thanksgiving Point Dinosaurs

Our day started much the same as it has for the last few weeks.  We got up, got dressed, then went out to work in the yard.  I love having a yard for the boys to work and play and live in.  Nathan and Brady helped Grandpa and I prepare a small area so we can lay sod tomorrow.  They are such hard workers.

When we finished with that, Grandma and Grandpa wanted to take Nathan to pick out his very own birthday present.  His wish: a shovel that was just his size.  They tried Target, but only emerged with a Lego (and a Lego for Brady.  Grandparents are suckers for the sad looking eyes of the non-birthday child).  But a shovel was still what he wanted the most, so we went to another store to make sure he got what he was really dreaming of. 

Then we visited the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point.  What  a fun place for little boys.  There were bones, and claws, and petrified poop, and water and sand to play in.  Heaven on earth I would say.


There was a great exhibit called "The Science of Sound" that we played around in before seeing the dinosaurs.  The drums were Nathan's favorite.  He totally got into it.
 






The boys played in this sand and water exhibit for almost an hour, and would have stayed longer if I would have let them.  They loved making and braking dams and watching the water bury their dinosaurs.  Yummy was unsure about getting wet and dirty at first.
