So far, this summer has brought lots of dinosaur action. We have a membership to Thanksgiving Point now and part of the complex is a great dinosaur museum. I think it’s supposed to be one of the largest in the world. It’s great to have such a fun museum just down the road from us.
Kind of a gruesome mammoth hunting scene, but it didn't seem to bother Amelie. In fact, she thought the human skeletons being squashed by the mammoth were swimming...
They even have dinosaur costumes for the kids to play in.
Working hard at the erosion table where you play with water and sand.
Doing some archaeological digging--looks like we uncovered a complete skeleton!
We also had the chance to visit the Eccles Dinosaur Park in Ogden. We went to Ogden planning to do something else, but plans changed and we ended up at the park. We really enjoyed the dinosaur sculptures outside and the fabulous dinosaur playground.
The sculptures were pretty neat. Probably a little easier for a toddler to understand than just the bones.
Amelie: "Look! The baby dinosaurs hugging their mommy!" Us: "Yes, Amelie. That's exactly what they're doing..."
Ride 'em, Cowboy Calder!
Utah’s definitely the place to be for all things dinosaur!
