On Friday, May 11th we headed over to the Museum of Idaho to see Sue the T-Rex. Sue is the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found. Ryan's dad was nice enough to join us...
 |
| This was a timed magnetic puzzle that the kids had to put together before the time ran out. |
 |
| This was a head of a triceratops if you look in the head you see how it sees--from the sides of its head. |
 |
| The same for the T-Rex but it sees in front on the head |
The Main EVENT...
 |
| They took an impression of Sue's skull and made a more complete replica of her skull |
 |

 |
| This is a REAL dinosaur bone that Nathanial was able to hold |
 |
| Christopher was able to hold this REAL dinosaur bone |
 |
| This is a neat display they had a human skeleton and a dinosaur skeleton with the bones that were the same painted the same color (i.e. the skull is painted red on both) |
 |
| This is what Emily did the whole time |
 |
| Coming after Ryan! |
 |
| This was Nathanial's favorite skeleton--a crocodile. |
 |
| The boys were surprised to find out that turtles were around when dinosaurs were. |
