Dinosaur Museum

I have to say that one of the coolest parts of the trip, especially for Jaden was the Dinosaur Museum.
This looks like a tiny building from the outside and kind of is but when you walk into it you are in heaven. If you know Jaden he loves dinosaurs and knows almost all of them and why they look certain ways or why they have sharp teeth. If you want to know something about these "creatures" Jaden is the one to ask as Grandma Arnold found out on her tour.
This was the only interactive part of the Museum and Jaden played with it for about five minutes and then moved on to the cool stuff.


 Nataila Showing off her digging skills. Yes she is wearing Oregon on her shirt.
I still love rocks and minerals. I got to take a geology class at BYU-Idaho and loved the lab part of it. They had some pretty amazing minerals in there collection that I am rather jelous of.

I really want this one. It looks like and egg and is all spotted and then the inside is all sparkly.

Fossil Starfish or as Jaden called them "Swimming Stars"

Fossiled Sea Urchins

Natalia really liked the dirt part. She kept on going back to it. She could care less about all the big skeletons

Natalia being cute and funny.

It's a turtle. (Speaking of which, Jaden tried to dig up poor Tommy the Turtle to show to George, our neighbor the other day. Luckily I caught him before he found it. )


This picture needs flipped but you cn kind of see the excitement on Jadens face. He loved all the dinosaurs





Janie asked why this dinosaur had a funny looking head. Jaden quickly answered and told her that it made music to call to other dinosaurs and then proceeded to make the noise. What a smart little boy.

Look at his face. He is jumping with joy inside.

These are fish. These heads are the size of an adult body. I wouldn't want to run into one of those in the water. Look at those teeth.

The picture of this fish doesn't do it justice. I am not over exagerating when I say that this fish is the size of a medium size whale. It gives me shivers just thinking about it.
