Dinosaur Museum!

So we had to take a trip to Nephi to watch my niece graduate, on our way home we stopped at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. Well Gavin LOVES Cars and Carson LOVES Pirate but they both LOVE dinosaurs! The boys had the time of their lives, First we went into to science room and played with all sorts of cool science experiments. Once we got inside the museum the boys were so excited to see everything!


                       They loved the hands on exhibits, touching and investigating the fossils!

 
 They loved looking at the bones! The exhibits were so fun for them, Gavin especially loved anything that looked like Rexi (T-rex).

 They loved this room, it had a cave that they could crawl through. Carson had to show Gavin how because he was scared.






 Gavin would get so excited over everything, he would jump and point and tell me all about everything he was seeing.





Gavin found a set of dinosaurs to play with and was intent on taking them all home, he was devastated to put them back.

This exhibit wanted you to touch and feel, Carson has a hard time with tactile discrimination so he would always peek at what he was touching in order to describe it and match it.


 After we walked though the entire museum we found the sand and water play area, an entire room with sand, water, and little dinos. They were both in heaven they didnt ever want to leave. I was worried about sand getting in Gavins burn but he didnt seem to care at all.
 







The boys thought this was hilarious!
 Then we found the digging and excavating exhibit, they got to use brushes to try and uncover dinosaur bones!





 
It was such a fun day, they boys really really enjoyed the dinosaur museum and so did I! It is a great memory that we will always share, I sure love these boys!
