Dinosaur Park

I wanted to take the little girlies to the Treehouse Museum but they were closed for cleaning so a friend suggested the Dinosaur Park. Jodi and I had never been but thought it would be pretty fun. It started out a little rough though.

Madi, Halli and Lexi were...TERRIFIED! We were walking

through the museum and saw the giant dinosaurs, bones and all, and could hear the sound track of dinosaurs and it was some scary crud!! We ended carrying the little littler gals and hurrying through the museum! When we got to the far side there was a little excavation room you could look into where they would clean up the bones. Lexi was standing on a bench looking in the room with all sorts of cool tools and bones and she said in her most excited voice and her face just lit up... "THEY HAVE TOWELS!!" It was so funny!! She is such a goof! As soon as we walked out of the museum you see a giant T.Rex eating another dinosaur with blood and guts exposed and ROARING sounds straight above you. We were definitely regretting the trip to the Dino Park. We started walking on the trails, pointed out all the "good" guys and the "bad" guys and once we got all 3 girls to firmly believe that the dinosaurs were dead, they started enjoying it! In fact, they ended up LOVING it! And, we even found a little dinosaur in each of them!

Grandpa showed up and then it was a real blast. They decided they could like dinosaurs even if they were picking out which ones had "pretty nails" and "look at their crown" and "oh its sparkly!"...yeah they are very much girly! We went in a little cave that had bones in the walls and they didn't even care...they just loved the sparkles!
