Royal Tyrell Museum!!! aka DINOLAND

This past Saturday we drove an hour and a half into the middle of nowhere hoping to find dinosaurs and a mini grand canyon stuck in the prairie. What is this magical place? Oh, just the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Justin and Jenn had asked us to go before (sad that the couple with no kids would think of something fun) but we didn't have a chance until now. I was so glad that we did. Deakon liked it for the most part, but it was a bit slow moving (lots of reading, not enough action!) and after about 40 minutes he wanted out of his stroller (definitely not happening at this place, he would be gone like Flash and we would never see him again). I personally loved it! It was so interesting and I hope maybe we can go again in a year when Deakon is older and can listen and stay with us... don't you dare tell me that I am in a fantasy land, 3 years is much easier than 2, right??? I had to include about a billion pictures (some not so good because the lighting was so dim) so enjoy!

On the drive:

On of the first rooms you pass is this cool kids room where these vacuums suck up the foam balls and shoot them across the room. After such a long drive, it was heaven on earth for both Deakon and us.

It is so crazy how big some dinosaurs were:

Deakon had decided that he was sick of me taking pictures and started covering his face:

HUGE croc they found in South America:

Googily alien pics:

Jenn, Kyle, and Justin:

I asked Justin to take a picture on us... maybe it was not such a good idea, on both parts. :)

Couple shot number 2... I decided to just stop after that...

The loverly Jenn and Jo-jo:

Is this not the nastiest fish you have ever seen?

My fav:

Giant mammoth and saber tooth:

Beautiful surroundings:

My silly boys:

We had a great time! Thanks for inviting us P-rudens.
