Thanksgiving Point

Before we headed back to Rexburg for my class reunion, we spent some time in Provo/Orem with friends and family. Stephen's aunt took all of us to Thanksgiving Point to see the Museum of Natural History that they have there. We had a great time!



First, we took in a 3D movie called SeaRex, all about the evolution of creatures on the earth, and the HUGE amphibians that lived in the water, even before the dinosaurs. Very cool.

A dino foot compared to a Payge. She really was in a good mood, but tired.


Here, the kids are playing in the "Erosion Table". Running water, sand, and little plastic dinosaurs can keep kids busy for long periods of time.







Using paint brushes to dig up fossils in the sand pit. Fun!


A face painting booth (yes, she requested her arm, so she could 'watch') was available, because it was the 10th anniversary of Thanksgiving Point. T'was a party!
