$2 Tuesdays in August

At the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point

Lehi, Utah!

Here is the Museum of Ancient Life:

An introduction to the rest of the museum

of 'gynormous & monumental' proportions...

I guess that we got there just at the right time because people were saying that $2 Tuesdays had extensive lines that went out the doors and around the building!

Here is a leg! Yeah, a leg! And those are our kids!

I think they come up to the its ankle...

This here is a hip bone...

Brings a whole new meaning to putting your 'Hands On Your Hips'...

(---'do your hula dips'---)

There was a section of the museum where you got to see archeologist study and work on real fossils!

Lots of pictures and skeletons...

and tunnels!

There are TONS of interactive opportunities for little kids!

Here's Debany and an Allosaurus...

We pit-stopped at a play area where kids played with dinosaurs

--- toy ones.

This is Debany's favorite dinosaur!

"The big one with a LONG neck!"

(and favorite dinosaur vitamins)

One room brought perspective of erosion. It's called the erosion table.

A little stream goes down the table and you get to build your castle and see how parts of it get swept away.

The famous T-Rex!

If you look close, you can see the closest one stepping on another dinosaur skeleton.

On the DinoScale, you get to see what dinosaur you weigh the same as! Yes, there are dinosaurs as small as Porter. We also saw how many kids it took to weigh as much as a triceratops! Don't think it's possible to weigh as much as a brontosaurus.

Close to the end, the kids got to discover fossils under sand with brushes.

Here's excavators Myanna and Porter.
