One of the funnest things we did was go to the Southwest Museum of Natural History. It was amazing, and it's just right there in the middle of Mesa....unassuming and wonderful. Mike was so excited right away because you walk in the doors, before you even have to pay, and you see this:
Mike has never seen dinosaur bones before, so it was especially amazing for him. I got to see some dinosaur bones as a kid when we visited the La Brae Tar Pits. I remember it was super fun, so I hope my kids have this memory with them for a while too. Yay wooly mammoth!!
Washed-out Archie liked the giant, dinosaur shark teeth.
A Real triceritops!!!!! So cool!
This is our family feet compared to a dinosaur foot. Boy is Archie pink!
Panning for gold in the yard. Fool's gold, but the kids loved it. The water was a nice break from the heat too.
That's one hot-looking Elliott!
Don't worry though, we cooled off at one of my favorite dessert joints in the valley, Mesa Frozen Custard!! YUMMMMY!!!!!!!
This is my lone 4th of July shot. This is moments before the Transformer fire cracker shot a missile inches from Elliott's head, into the garage behind us. Exciting times.We loved this trip! Mike didn't melt in the heat, we spent great time with great people in a great place, and we had so much fun. The kids came home and crashed. Here is the proof:
Same time, same place next year everybody?
