Dino Days / Happy Birthday

This month has been all about dinosaurs at day care. Reganne & Ryder have loved learning about dinosaurs. We have a museam here in town from the 2000 discovery of foot prints. It is rather expensive to go very often. The displays don't change so once you have seen it you are good. The city announced this year that they were going to have a birthday party for the museaum with free admission for the day. I knew this was my chance to go and let the kids explore.

When we arrived they all received dino stamps on their hands. Ryder would not let her touch him. Then it was off to the movie and the history of the site. Next came time to explore. Only not too much since you have to stay on a path and not touch the rocks. Try telling that to a five year old and two year old.

It was bigger than their heads.


Rylee busily reading the signs and asking questions.

Game Time !!! I really can't see! Pin the footprint on the wall.

Become a palentologist and dig for bones in the sand or rather the mud. Who knew they used toothbrushes and paintbrushes in the dirt.




It was a fun activity to do. I was glad we did it before the rain started. After lunch it started to rain and as of this morning it is still raining. We need the water, but too much inside time makes mom cranky.
Potty Training Update: He went both pee & poop in the potty. He new reply when asked if he needs to go. "There is no water in my maker" and off he runs.

There's no water in my maker -- that's priceless. Love it!
