It's the grand opening of the new dinosaur exhibition at the museum this weekend.

One of my boys is a bit scared of dinosaurs but we'll check it out anyway. He can join the dino dance at the end if he needs to get away from things

Naaaw that's so cute

Your boy who is scared is smart, if I saw a dino in real life I think I'd wet myself, and I love dinos. I get nervous with hissing cats

He handled things well, I'm proud of him. There was even a booth that played animal sounds quite loudly. My other boy was happily pressing the buttons for the animals to sound and he got a little cautious but held it together.

The T. Rex exhibition is great too. They have the real skull in a display where it's easier to see and a cast of it with the rest of the skeleton. I hadn't seen the triceratops yet either so we checked that out as well. The triceratops skeleton was black so it reminded me of The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here by Alice in Chains
