Dinosaur Museum

Ever since we moved back to Pittsburgh we've been wanting to take Logan, who loves dinosaurs, to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History to see the dinosaur exhibit. Well months went by and and now with the baby coming soon we just decided we better do it planned a weekend with my parents to go. We've been buried in snow for what seems like forever, but we managed to make it down to the museum and Logan and Tolan both had a great time.

Here's Logan with the stegosaurus

can you see his little balled-up fists of excitement over the T-rex??

Logan knows lots of dinosaur names and I was so impressed when I told him the name of this dinosaur and he so casually said, "Oh that's the one that hoots with its crest." And he was right! There he is, looking so smart & cool with his dinosaur knowledge! lol

They had a little area for kids to "dig" up fossils. They got goggles, a chisel and a paintbrush for brushing away the dust. There they are working hard, hunting for dinosaur bones.

Tolan really liked this part and totally cracked me up with his goggles. He looked so funny in them and they had to be uncomfortable, but he did not want to leave!

The museum has lots to see other than dinosaurs, and I was surprised how interested the boys were in the other things, even the rocks and gems. This part was a no brainer though, it's just like the zoo, but the animals can't hide from you, you can always see them perfectly!
