Dino Day

Big C's sleep is going markedly better than it was months ago. He's almost always staying in his room and the sticker reward program that we have going is paying off big time for him. Yesterday, he got to watch Dinosaur Train on TV. I thought it fitting that we follow that up with a trip to the Dinosaur Museum (aka Museum of Nature). We had a free pass left from years ago, so off we went.
The renovations are finished and it looks SO good.
Here are the boys out front:
and here we are on the inside:
Since we'd been a few times before, I thought that we should spend most of our time in the newly renovated section.
Here we are in the marine section checking out the huge fish tanks:
The deep dive submarine (where the boys surely could have spent all day....it's filled with dials and knobs and all sorts of cool stuff):
learning how fish swim:

the attack turtle:
stopping for lunch and heading over the canal for a more scenic view:
Daddy realizes that he's not in many of these pictures. So here's one:
Big C taking a boat for a tour:
cool Zeolites in the Earth section (with lots of cool chemistry stuff...Daddy could have spent all day in there):
Big C looking at his eye in a camera when we were at the Discovery Zone:

and then checking out the shark teeth and trying them on:
after 3 1/2 hours we'd had a great time, but had run out of steam.
Thanks for a great day boys!
