so hubby and i recently spent an afternoon at a new museum. we had heard a lot about this great place for the past 3 months or so. in fact, we had heard so much about it i was starting to wonder just how big it might be. it was obviously going to be pretty impressive.
so after a leisurely lunch outside, hubby and i headed out south of town. we were a little unsure of what to expect but had high expectations. we were not at all let down. upon our arrival, we noticed a rather large crowd had gathered. so much so, we could hardly see the exhibits. geesh...this must be an incredible museum.
we hung back a little bit to let the crowd move on. it was obvious they were on a class field trip so we wanted to be sure they had plenty of time. there was a power point presentation going that held our attention while we waited. the first exhibit we came to was hands on. it was a well done dinosaur dig. the next exhibit was just as impressive. as we turned around we could see posters all over the wall displaying a multitude of incredible facts on dinosaurs.
but it was the final exhibit that really impressed me. there was this young man there that couldn't wait to tell us all about the exhibit he had created. he told us he had worked on it for quite awhile and then shared many fascinating facts about meat eaters. he had an impressive diorama, but it was his enthusiasm that really made the whole exhibit come alive. i asked for permission to take his picture and of course he obliged! he even said i could put it on my blog. isn't that wonderful???
i'm sorry if you missed it - it was only open for one week.....something about needing to close down for the summer months!
