Museum of Ancient Life...

Photobucket

On Tuesday we headed to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. We decided to go on Tuesday because it is only two bucks. Looking back next time we will probably pay the extra money to go on a different day so it's not so crazy. It was so crowded and we actually had to wait in line just to get in. Due to the wait by the time we got in the kids were a little grouchy because it was lunch time and they were hungry. Of course we still managed to have fun. I have been fascinated by Dinosaurs since I was little so I thought it was really neat. I can't believe I haven't been before.

Just beautiful! I wish I could go explore stuff like this somewhere! Here is some of the other cool stuff we saw...

My favorite of the Dinosaur exhibits! Doesn't this just look like an attack waiting to happen?

Other cool Dinosaur exhibits...the biggest one was too big to even get a picture-amazing how big these creatures really were!

Maddy and Dallin both love anything to do with the ocean!

Maddy sitting at the claw of one of the Dinosaurs. I wouldn't want to get attacked by that!

My sister's friend Gina and her daughter Takoma also came with us. She was the first of us to get in line and let us sneak in with her. I think this is such a cute picture-I love how you can see their reflection's!

Maddy's favorite part of the day...lunch! We ate at the "Expedition Cafe" inside the same building as the Museum. The kids meal included "Dino" nuggets, chips and a drink in a Dinosaur souvenir cup. All of which Maddy loves! Now he only wants to drink out of this cup at home.

Thanks again Jamie and Stacy for another fun filled weekly outing!

You guys are such fun moms--always taking your kids somewhere new! It cracks me up how much you and your sisters look alike, I mean, you always have but whenever I look at your pictures with them I can't help but smile. :)

This is one of our favorite places to go, too (though it has been more crowded lately - I can only imagine what it was like on $2 Tuesday!). Every time we go, on the way home, the kids are asking when we can go back, they love it so much. You got so many cute pics!
