This weekend we went to "Discover the Dinosaurs" at the Tulsa Convention Center. I am so very thankful we did not have to purchase our tickets as it would have cost $50 just to get in the door and then all the inflatables, mini golf, and food were extra. I knew we couldn't get by without doing those things! Thankfully, our neighbors won some tickets off the radio, weren't able to go, and gave them to us. Thank you very much Jeremy and Marinda!
The first stop was the Stegasauras. I have told Will and Owen for years that this is the dinosaur they look like since each day their hair is spiked. Will wanted to find the "spiky dinosaur" the whole time we were walking around. He was not interested in taking any pictures by any other dinosaur other than this one:) Owen wouldn't come close to the big animals for a picture so it was just Will and Daddy. Owen did warm up to the beasts after about 1/2 hour but he would rather have done this:
What's a little dinosaur exploration without some mini golf, right? Of course, both boys had to do this! Owen was pretty patient and really tried to get the ball in each hole. I didn't think he would do that. I thought he would just pick up the ball after a few strokes and throw it in the hole. I guess he has been watching big brother on the proper technique.
Another fun activity was the Dino Dig. This was basically just several 
glorified sandboxes filled with sand and "bones". Throw the kids some paintbrushes to sweep away the dust from the bones, charge the parents $6 a child to go in, and make hand over fists money! This is all this place was. The boys liked it though. In one of the pictures you will notice Owen is a little blurry. Shocker!!! He was moving so quickly "dusting his bones" that the shot got a little blurry!Overall, the boys had a great time. I was sick of all the roaring echoing through the speakers after 5 minutes, the boys didn't even seem to notice it, and the tickets were free. Guess I can't complain!
