dinosaur museum

A couple weeks ago we went to the Dino Museum at Thanksgiving Point because they were celebrating 10 years. It was cute because they had all the dinosaurs dressed up with party hats and stuff. When Mason saw them he said, "Look Mom! They are all wearing party hats for my birthday!" He is so funny, and SO excited for his birthday next week. We had a great time. There was lots of crafts, games, prizes, face painting, and other various things for the kids to do.







GNOMES!!!

If you have been to the museum then you probably know about the 14 gnomes they have hidden around the museum, 7 are painted somewhere on walls and 7 are little 1-2 inch figures that are hidden in the exhibits. Those dreaded gnomes! I have finally given up looking for them! Luckily the painted ones don't move, but every time you find one of the figures, you go back and they are gone! The whole thing has tainted my museum experiences, so therefore I give up (Seriously Sherrie, I GIVE UP!) But for the rest of you, I will tell you where the painted ones are incase you decide to take on the quest... but don't read the rest of this post if you don't want to know.

The room with the giant turtle:


The Mammoth room:


And last, the sand room where you dig up the dino bones:



Side note:

Avery does NOT like that room!

Good luck to all those who take on this endeavor, let me know if you find any!
