Prehistoric Zoo

July 5, 2010

Last summer a Dinosaur exhibit set up shop at our Zoo. Of course, we loaded up the Mini's and took them out for a peek. Before heading down to the exhibit, Hayden had to stop at the water globe to locate North America....

Then we moseyed down to the dinosaurs where Bailey checked out a T-rex skull and a baby T-Rex. Apparantly all it takes to make "Bailey Long Legs" look short is hanging out with dinosaur replicas!
As we strolled along, a guide appeared and let the kids touch a dinosaur claw.

Along the way we happend on a fossil dig and the kids decided to have a go at excavating dinosaur bones.

The kids oohed and ahhed over the baby dinosaur nest. Perhaps when they say all babies are cute this reaction is proof!
Hayden was pleased to make the acquaintance of an Ankylosaurus. This creature is a favorite of his pal Alex which made it extra interesting to our little guy.

It must be said that the most fabulous find for H was the meteorite. He is captivated by this theory regarding the end of the dinosaurs. Go figure, it is where dinosaurs and outer space collide - literally the joining his two major passions at the time.

It was an interesting stroll back in time for our crew. After dodging the gift shop we were ready to head for the hills and check out our dinosaur books in the cool comfort of Casa Marx!
