Our Dinosaur Expedition...



The kids and I headed down to Thanksgiving Point to the Dinosaur Museum to take advantage of the last $2.00 Tuesday, and we ran into some others who had the same idea... so, Krissy and I combined the cousins and toured the dinosaurs together.









Brielle kept a watchful eye out for T-rex and these crocodile-looking-a-sauruses while the rest of us communed with the stegosaurus.





These are some scary dinosaurs...


Digging in the sand and water for dinosaurs.


Brady and Lia show us how docile these creatures can be...







Our friend, Mr. Triceratops...


Apparently none of the cousins have seen Jaws....


This is the guy my nightmares are made of...



Budding paleontologists: The cousins cooperate together to uncover a huge t-rex!!! Alec @Brady uncover one end, Brielle & Skyler work on a leg, and Lia is putting makeup on it's face. This was the highlight of Lia's dinosaur experience, in fact it was too good to be torn away to go potty; consequently, there was some wet sand where she was sitting.
