ROAARRRRR!

That's what Caden was saying all night last night and this morning - after we visited the Dinosaur Exhibit at Midland Center for the Arts! He was ready for the trip yesterday - he was practicing his roar, wearing his dino shirt, and had his best bud Jackson coming with him. They had a blast - here are some pictures.

I was pretty impressed with the main feature - the recently discovered “Twin Towers of Terror”: a 45-foot Giganotosaurus skeleton.



Here's a re-created head of the above large dino - supposedly bigger than T-Rex.


On the left is a Stegosaurus. On the right is the 24-foot juvenile Mapusaurus skeleton - looks a lot like T-Rex.



Here's the cuddly, adorable Velociraptors....remember Jurassic Park?!


They probably make GREAT Pets!

There were crafts of course - Caden is getting better at this, now that he is a little older. I still had to stop him from stamping his hand though.






This was a neat feature - a Fossil dig in a big sandbox - but the sandbox was filled with plastic pellets so the kids didn't leave too dirty. Excellent!






Here's a video of Caden in the dinosaur exhibit...




And no visit is complete without a visit with the fishtank...
