"Real Life" Dinosaurs

The Bishop Museum here has a dinosaur exhibit until September. We've been wanting to take Cole, but we were kind of uncertain if it would keep his interest. On Saturday, the YMCA was doing a healthy kids day there and admission was free for Hawaii residents and Military, so we thought we'd brave the crowds and check it out. It did NOT disappoint! We parked right next to a HUGE Brontosaurus and Cole was hooked. He kept on wanting to see an Ankylosaurus, which unfortunately they did not have, but we convinced him it was too hot in Hawaii for them to be here. Some of our friends who had checked out the exhibit before told me that their kids were scared because the dinosaurs move around and make noise, not Cole! He was upset when they weren't moving. Overall, Bishop Museum, two thumbs WAY UP, Cole woke up from his nap asking to see the "the dinosaurs that worked" so I'm sure I'll be hearing about it for eternity and I'm also certain we'll have to go back before the dinosaurs migrate in September.

A HUGE Brontosaurus right by our car!

Can you tell he's not scared at all?

Big T-REX!

Triceratops

Velociraptor
(and some lady in the corner who looks like
she's trying to imitate the dinosaurs)

ROAR!

Stegosaurus

Pteranodon

I think he's in awe

"Look! More dinosaurs!"

And to cap the day off, he got to sit in a big firetruck!
