The Museum of Ancient Life

Ryan went to St. George over the weekend. The morning he left, Bridger was so upset because he was sure since Dad was leaving the weekend would be full of boring no-things to do. I took as an opportunity to show the kids that Mom, no matter how busy, knows how to still have fun too!

So I took the kids to The Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. We had a blast. Since I am better at Pictures than words..................

The kids stood by this dinosaur foot and looked up to see how much bigger a dinosaur is than they are. You can tell by the expressions of thier faces just how big the dinosaurs really are.

We almost got eaten by this Utahraptor.

The kids got to build their own dinosaur valleys. They loved this -

Bridger loved to build dams and let the water rise as high as he could. Then he would break down the middle of the damn and create a canyon for the water to go through.

I loved watching Caroline's little hands work in the sand. I just had to take a picture of her cute little hands.

What cute little kids.

Carter liked being attacked by the animals. He thought it was so funny.

Kaitlyn was a crack up the whole time. It is getting really fun because she likes to take silly pictures with me.

Another great pose by Kaitlyn. It looks like the fish is going to take a bite out of her head. LOL!

Even though Carter couldn't get down and play with the kids he loved being a part of it. I had him strapped to the front of me and I think he was thinking all the extra time with Mommy was pretty cool too.

Finally, the kids had a chance to dig up some dinosaur bones of their own.

We had such a great time. After we went to the Ice cream shop and shared two ice cream sundaes, then went to blockbuster and got a bunch of movies.

Hopefully I proved to the kids that Mom isn't all about chores, homework, and "boring stuff" like that.
