We finally saw this Museum with our Pogopass today!
The dinosaurs were great! The kids learned all about meteors. How they look and feel like a rock; but are actually iron and nickel. They had great guides there That explained a few different fossils, rocks and dinosaurs.
There were different hands on activities that they kids enjoyed. Such as; dinosaur rocking horse, puzzles, teepee with faux fire inside, flash flood display and a wishing pond.
What great adventures; However, being that Levi has come here before for a field trip he saved the ' best for last ' !
In the back of the museum is a patio that features a mining water feature, with sand, gold and dishes to find and keep gold specs of their own.
We all worked well together; and I showed them some of my ' Montana skills ': because honestly I wouldn't be a true born Montanian if I didn't know how to mine!! :)
that gold settles to the bottom of the tray; so the proper angle and continuous water, along with the consistent swaying motion to collect the most gold from your dish is crucial. *see I think I know what I am talking about! * ;)
However: with my 5th birth around the corner; I found that I quickly started to melt in the Arizona Sun and decided that 20 exterior minutes was plenty for this hot momma. *maybe mining shouldn't be done under an Arizona summer Sun* ;)
Bayden really enjoyed the rocks and running up the stairs.
I love these kiddos!
