Museum of Ancient Life, Thanksgiving Point Utah


On 4/19/08 Todd took us all to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point.  The kids call it the Dinosaur Museum.  It is a fun place.  













Here is Maddie sitting on a dinosaur toe.













Here is Max getting chased by something vicious.









Max, Todd and Madeline with their 3-D glasses on.  We saw Dinosaurs Alive! on the mammoth screen.  It was pretty interesting, and the kids enjoyed it.  





The kids always enjoy the gift shop.  They must get that from me!  We found real dinosaur egg shell pieces, amethyst crystals, and copal (semi-fossilized tree resin that is not yet Amber.) There is a little bug trapped inside the copal which Maddie thought was neat.
