Arizona Natural History Museum

We've been wanting to take Caden to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs.  Well Saturday was the Smithsonian free museum day, so we decided to go and check it out.  
 
This is a Pteranodon which is the same dinosaurs that are on the Dinosaur Train show that Caden likes to watch.   

Caden "flying" like a Pteranodon.  There were also another flying dinosaurs that were as big as an airplane.  It was so crazy.  I can't imagine how scary that would be to see them flying around! 

This is a Mammoth 

The highlight for Caden was the T-Rex.  We had to go back and look at it again.  We also some other dinosaurs including the Stegosaurus and Triceratops.

He also got to excavate some dinosaur bones 

and do some panning for gold. 

There was also a jail replica. 
 
We saw some other Arizona history about the Indians and mining, but the most interesting thing there was definitely the dinosaurs!

Caden must have had a lot of fun. He already knows all the types of dinosaurs!
