while cynthia and her boys were in utah, they (along with my parents) decided to drive the couple of hours from monroe to the dinosaur museum at thanksgiving point. kate and i joined in for the afternoon. i had never been before, so i was curious to see what was in store. the kids were all pretty excited to see the dinosaurs, although kate was convinced we were going to a movie (she's been watching ice age: dawn of the dinosaurs and the land before time quite a bit lately).
other than trying to get her to play in the water/sand area (she was too little to play from the outer edge so i tried to make her go to the inside of the exhibit where the ground is elevated for the little ones - didn't go over well at all - she totally freaked out and it was kind of a mess until i rescued her and brought her back to my side), so other than that, she had a great time. at the entry of the exhibits, you walk through a sort of star tunnel (representing space and the beginning of time) and she asked the entire time (about 2 hours) to go back to the stars. that was easily her favorite part :) but she had a great time playing with the toy dinosaurs in the little play pit-stop. it was a great resting point for me, too!

the tired bunch (well, i was pretty tired anyway!) baking a baby's a good excuse, right?
2 quick quips:
Fun! We love the dinosaur museum!
I've been there once, but I must admit, I was not really paying much attention. Just trying to get through it as fast as possible actually. I'll have to give it another shot sometime.
