On Friday the girls only had a 1/2 day of school so we decided to meet our friends at the Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum. It was one of the best times we have had there. The kids really got into all the activities!
We first met at JCW's!! It's a great place to eat. We had a lot of fun there. It was a long wait but the kids didn't seem to mind. They took turns holding Audrey and just catching up with each other.
Sydney thought this picture was so cute of her playing footsie with Audrey.
We then went to the Museum. They all like the huge dinosaur bones. Even Avery did okay with them. Kennady even touched them and went under the big dinosaur. She is usually too scared to do that!!
They then spent 30-45 minutes playing in the sand/water table. They really enjoyed creating many things. At first they each did their own thing.
Then slowly Kennady, Sydney, and Madison began working on together making a big lake.
Avery of course wasn't too sure about the sand. She played a little bit but then just sat and watched the kids play. I don't think she liked her hands so dirty!!
Zach and Avery got a little bored while the girls worked in the sand so they went exploring. They thought it was so fun that they found a window where they could look down on us. It was cute.
After the sand we all went to the place where you can create a dinosaur. They all worked together to make a scary dino!!
Then we came to the huge shark. It is the first time I could get Kennady anywhere near it!! Avery didn't want to get close enough for a picture but they did really great this time! We didn't have any tears!!!
And finally we ended with digging for bones. Again the kids really stayed focus and played forever!! It was such a fun day!! My children even thanked my for the great day!!

That looks like such a great place! I am going to have to get with it and take my kids there. Thanks for the idea!
P.S. I can't get over how cute your girls are!
It looks like you guys had such a great time! It is so fun to be able to spend a free afternoon doing things that keep your kids so busy, and have such a great time!
Looks so fun!
Seems messy! But totally something I would have loved to do...even at this age! Awesome...digging! Reminds me Jurassic Park. I wouldn't go stand by the shark either. Back in the day when I went to the Ogden dinosaur place and I didn't even like getting near those things with their really fake noises!
I miss Eagle Mtn, i wish i was going to thanksgiving point. I started a blog when i got to Oklahoma. jerandkylie.blogspot.com

Oh how fun. I have never even been there. It looks really neat and the girls look so happy.
