Visit to Provo,Dinosaurs

We took a last minute trip to Provo to see Grandma Gordon, and Jared of course. We thought we would do something fun/educational for the girls while we were there. We went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was AMAZING!! I recommend it to everyone. It was well worth the 10$ to get in. We spent almost 3 hours there. The girls had a blast. They had all kinds of activities for the kids.



These were fossils that have been found mostly in Utah. They had drawers and drawers filled with different fossils all labeled of course.


Jay liked looking up at me making sure I was still there.


This was the Erosion Table. The kids got to manipulate (PLAY in) the water and sand, to find the buried dinosaurs. It was a mess with lots of kids. They didn't seem to mind. Lil side note Where are those parents of the kids who are throwing the sand at other kids? OOHH that makes me so mad.

This was a GIANT Sea Turtle. The biggest they've ever found.


SCARY!

This was another activity where kids get to discover dinosaur bones in the sand. Everyone gets a brush and they brush away the sand to find the dinosaur bones. We had a lot of fun, walking around and seeing all the giant dinosaurs, and learning about the different Era's. These are just a few of the activities they had.

We love that place too... fun times. Fun that your girls enjoyed it so much, and so cool to see Mady holding Jay. How nice would that be to have such a good helper?! I'm jealous you got to get-together with Amb too! Glad you had fun!
