Last week we took our kids to the Museum of Ancient Life (a.k.a. Dinosaur Museum) at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. They were having $2 admission on Tuesdays in August, so we decided that Bryce would take an afternoon off of work and we'd take the kids and Grandma Allen and go to the museum. We also met up with StacyAnn and baby Jack to make a complete party of fun.
All of our kids seemed to enjoy themselves. We pulled out our double stroller for the first time, and River seemed to enjoy it. She started out the excursion sleeping, but she woke up and had fun for part of the time.
MayLynn, who has become more independent since River was born, had fun doing things her way. She had fun looking at the exhibits and playing with the hands-on activities.
Owen just loves dinosaurs, so he was in his element. He was especially excited when he saw skeletons that he recognized, and he surprised me with how much he knows about different types of dinosaurs.
Some of the other highlights of the afternoon were all of the hand-on activities that the museum had to offer. Owen and Grandma Allen had fun putting together a Stegosaurus skeleton, we all had fun playing at the erosion table, and digging for bones in the excavation pit.
And to top it all off, we managed to escape death by a megalodon (an ancient giant shark) when the camera's flash scared him away ; ).
