American Museum of Natural History

Last weekend while Andrew was away on a Habitat for Humanity trip with our church, I took the kids to visit my parents in New Jersey.  On Saturday, we took the kids into New York to the American Museum of Natural History to see the dinosaur bones.  The boys just love dinosaurs all of a sudden and have been talking about going to see the bones for weeks.  What a great time we had, especially Ben who literally looked at and observed every exhibit in the dinosaur rooms.  He was amazed!


Big 'ole T-Rex....makes me think of Night at the Museum .  I just wanted to throw him a rib bone :).

A big skull....

This is Ben with the Velociraptor.  His Show and Tell this week was the letter V so we took this photo and combined it with a mini plastic Velociraptor that he got in the souvenir shop and he had his homework all ready to go!

Stegosaurus...

The boys loved feeling the hands-on exhibits, especially the Stegosaurus scale...

Tricerotops...
