On our way out of Fruita, we stopped across the street at the Dinosaur Museum. It has inspired Elise to become a Palaeontologist. It was a great little museum.
Elise and Kyle and Jared checking out the robotic dino.
Now everybody is playing.
Joey and Brendan checking out this big dino.
They say this is the actual size of a T-rex head. Even though Kyle is smiling he's still keeping an eye on those teeth.
Mike is making the dino say hi to me.
I'm sure dino kids picked their noses too... right....
This dino spit "deadly venom" (water) at you if you walked by at just the right moment. None of the kids were very fond of this one and it was a challenge to even get them to run past.
They had a place where you could dig up dinosaur bones. To be honest, the bones weren't deep at all (they could all be seen) but the kids had a great time just playing in the pit like it was a sand pile. They used finly chopped up walnut shells for the filler. We inadvertantly brought some home with us.
Camille even got in there and helped them dig up dino bones.
The kids tried to bury Camille and Jared. They're more fun to dig up anyways.
Even Gavin got his feet in.
Allosauras skeleton. Not a very good pet.
This is the Utah Raptor. It's a bit vicious.
Leg bone of a Brachiosauras. They were enormous.
Kyle and Brendan making dino tracks.
After we left the museum we drove throught he Colorado National Monument. There are a lot of rock formations and even places to hike. Pretty amazing what mother nature makes.per
Coke Bottle Formations (not to be confused with coca cola, not the same kind of coke bottle)
