The Land Before Time

This is a delayed post...Actual events happened a few weeks ago! Forgive me! I'm catching up. Maybe I'll post her Halloween Costume before Christmas...who knows! We'll have to wait and see.

Cole was working on Jessica's car so we decided to go and play again. We went down to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. At the beginning they have the displays of claymation movies that they make. The detail on these things are amazing.


Jonah wanted to have his picture taken by this scary guy Goliath.

Ashlyn is in front of Santa's Workshop


Joe was so cute with Ashlyn. He told her to hold his hand so she wouldn't get scared

She wasn't too thrilled about the outer space to walk through to go back in time. I thought it was pretty cool with all of the stars. Once we arrived from space she was pretty excited about all the things to see. She looked at one of the dinosaurs and said "Big". Then we went to the Dino play area and looked at books and played with the toy dinosaurs.
Ashlyn wasn't too fond of the sound effects that were playing. When she heard the roaring she would run over and grab my leg. I kept telling her that they were pretend and that nothing was going to get us. After that whenever she heard the roaring she would run over, grab my leg, and say "pretend".
The three of us hiding in the cave
This was one of my favorite parts...Design a Dino!
There are a variety of dino parts to choose from. Once you've decided the part you want, you attach it to this gray carpet mass.
Jonah and Ashlyn carrying the dino parts. It was really funny to watch them try and carry the legs and then lift them up to attach them! We had a great time designing our dinosaur. And...
Here is our finished Dino
No matter what Jess and I do, we always have a great time and a lot of laughs. It takes us back to our younger teenage years!

Isn't that place amazing? I love going there, even though my kids are big! I love Ashlyn's leg grabbing. I'll have to remember that next time I get scared...not to grab your leg...I'll just remember to say "pretend" :)

This was so fun! Now for our next outing, can we move it to Monday instead of Tuesday? I have to work into the early morning on Monday which means I might be cranky on Tuesday and you and I get into enough trouble without a cranky Jess. I'll double check the weather because maybe I can be nice if I try. I'm so excited, we love playing with you and Ashlyn!
