We had a day off of school today for snow rebate. We haven't left town for a while, and we found a dinosaur museum that we though the kids would enjoy seeing, so we drove to Eagar for a day trip.
The museum we went to was just a little shop that had things on display and things for them to explore with. It is owned by a family that are paleontologists and we saw so many cool things. The boys loved the digging table where they brushed through sand and found little pieces of bones and rocks.
She was so kind to sit at her table of replica fossils and show off each one to the kids and let them touch them. I think there was a T-rex foot and the one they thought was cool was petrified animal poo. Kayton was especially interested in everything she showed him.
At the end, her son took us to a special room where they got to see real fossils that they weren't allowed to touch. I think that was the coolest part.
"Riding" a dinosaur

After the museum, we called our friends the Tuckers and they let us come over and visit for a few minutes before we headed home. We sure miss our Flagstaff friends and the kids had so much fun playing at their house with them.
It was a much needed day off with everyone and we had a lot of fun!
