The children had an urge to re-visit Thanksgiving Point Museum of Ancient Life. It is so nice to be able to visit a great children-friendly attraction that is exciting and interesting to Eli, Clara and Lilly.
A local animation company has an exhibit of recent film sets on display.
I think this movie was released Sept. or Oct. of this year.
The protagonists are two children who go trick-or-treating.
These are not the spooky houses.
Oooo! Look at those spooky houses.
Wow! There's a lot of detail there.
Now, on to the rest of the museum. Some more scary stuff!
What every six-year-old would love to view from a distance: a T-Rex battle!
Compsagnathus I think
This fossil (replica) of an ancient turtle is huge and amazing. One of my favorites.
These are even more impressive if you can see the relative size. It seems like they wouldn't mind having one of us for dinner.
A woolly mamoth and early man
Eli wants to explore this scene more throughly.
Now those are some BIG molars. They have to grind a lot of plant matter.
Lilly is interested in whatever interests Eli.
A sandbox for junior paleontologists.
Eli and Clara are working together.
Where's the professor? Who's in charge of this dig? And who let in that tourist with the camera?
Is that a rib cage? I think this is a Velociraptor.
Clara loves comming in off-hours so she can have this place to herself. On Saturdays it's swarming with kids. As far as she's concerned this is why we come here.
Definitely a leg bone.
Clockwise from top: roaring T-Rex, stomping Stegasaurous, grazing Triceratops, sneaky Raptor. Cheerfull, but sneaky.
