A Visit to the Dinosaurs

These days John loves two things: Super Heroes and Dinosaurs. And therefore, Nathan loves these two things as well. But in his case, any athletic balls top the list.
Since dinosaurs have been a major theme in the house these days, we thought it would be fun to head to the Science Museum to check out the "real" thing. We headed out early on a Saturday morning and it was great because the crowds were not bad.
John was ecstatic the moment he glimpsed his first dinosaur. And he was calling out all the names: T-Rex, Triceratops, Long necks, stegosaurus etc. It was so fun to see the excitement that filled him.
He especially liked the lever that allowed him to open and close the mouth of the T-Rex. Daddy did have to help, but it was still a great time.
Nathan loved the exhibit as well and was smiling from ear to ear and pointing to everything.
We did check out some of the other exhibits, but none matched the excitement of the dinosaurs.
