Thanksgiving Point, Dinosaur Museum

Since Shandy didn't go into labor on Labor Day, we decided to do something fun. So, we (mom, dad, Carson, Parker, and I) drove to Thanksgiving Point and hooked up with Curtis and Shandy. Sam stayed behind to help his brother-in-law with a sprinkler system.

There were so many cool exhibits and so many things to see! One of the best areas was an Erosion Table. It's a big trough full of water, sand, and buried plastic dinosaurs. Carson had so much fun making dams, volcanos, and in general, a big mess!



I think it's funny that I can look at Parker wrong, and he'll cry, but standing in front of a HUGE shark makes him smile? Where have I gone wrong??



At the end of our museum tour, Carson and Parker got to dig for dinosaur skeletons. It was so fun watching the kids with their brushes, carefully removing the sand from around the "bones". If you live in the area and haven't been to this museum, you really should check it out, it was a great way to entertain two energetic boys for a couple of hours!
