Natural History Museum

We spent one of our days in Salt Lake at the Natural History Museum.  All the kids had a blast, but Brychan was in HEAVEN.  It was so fun watching him; this was more exciting for him than Christmas ever has been.

Watching the paleontologists at work.  On our way into the museum, Brychan's biggest concern was whether or not he would get to see a real paleontologist.  He was pretty excited to watch not just 1, but 4 paleontologists working!

As hard as we tried, this is the best photo we could get of all 4 of them!

It was a pretty cool display, but Brychan was super nervous about walking on the see-through, glass floors!

 And, one of the many, many dinosaurs we saw throughout the day.

Digging for fossils.

 Watching a series of videos depicting varying hypothesis on how the dinosaurs of Utah became extinct.  We stood there and watched those videos several times.  I'm sure Brychan can now tell you exactly all the different possibilities that explain what happened to the dinosaurs there.

 He is just like his Daddy at museums.  Likes to read every last board and soak up all the information.  This may be my favorite photo of the entire day.

 Don't ask.  I have no clue.

All I know is that he insisted I take his photo. Just.Like.That.
