Dinosaur egg hunt

 We went to the dino museum (utah field house) for their annual dinosaur egg hunt.  In preparation I got a bunch (25, the library's limit) of books about dinosaurs for Anna and I to read the week before.  We've been learning the dino names.  In the line waiting to get in there was a large organe diplocus greeting the children.  I was surprised that anna walked up to mrs. diplodocus all by herself and gave her a hug.  she is above in the blue jacket and green pants.
 Once inside we greeted the large utah raptor.  anna wasn't scared a bit.  richard and julia arent her because they went to buy some easter baskets.  we ended up not seeing them at all until we got out of the museum.  oops.  i guess we were too  busy looking at the raptor and we missed the instructions.  we were supposed to wait in a line and then they let you in the museum 5 or 6 at a time and you run around and collect empty eggs.  at the end you return those eggs for a dinky prize.  since i didn't know that i went up stairs and wandered around the museum.  anna collected empty eggs.  i didn't know what for so i had to ask someone and they told me you turn them in at the end for a prize.  it was still pretty lame, so we just took our time looking at the museum for free.

 we played in the childrens play area for a good 15 minutes.  it was nice to have it all to ourselves since the eggs were elsewhere.

 we saw diplocus again at the end while looking for daddy and julia.
sort of a really lame egg hunt, but cool museum!  at home we made some dino died easter eggs to complete our week of dinosaurs.
