Dinosaurs at the Witte

The Witte Museum has had a special dinosaur exhibit this summer.  Will loves dinosaurs - like, LOVES them - so I knew we had to check it out.  Some friends told me that some of the exhibits moved and could be really intimidating, so we talked ahead of time about how the dinosaurs were going to be huge but that they weren't real.  They were so fascinated by the movement (and the iPads at several exhibits that you could use for additional activities) that they handled everything fine.  But for any locals that haven't been yet - try to prepare your kiddos!



Members received a free dinosaur mask (and I was able to purchase an additional one for just $2) - I think the mask only left Will's head for bath time and bed time over the next 3 days.  Will was in little boy heaven!

We had a blast, and Will kept asking "Can I go to the dinosaur exhibit?  I need to see the dinosaurs!"  We went back in July and plan to go at least once more before it ends in September.

Educational AND exhausting - dinosaurs for the win!
