Spring Break 2013



For Spring Break this year, Tyson didn't go to Rocky Point, or San Carlos, or San Diego either. He chose to work for the majority of the break. But we decided to check out two museums.

On Sunday, we took Tyler to the dinosaur museum! He went to sleep excited about dinosaurs, woke us up at 4:50am ready to see dinosaurs, and the smile on his face at the very first display made the trip worthwhile.


This T-Rex moves periodically. Tyler was transfixed by him.


So tired. So happy.

Tyler caught a second wind when he found this guy.


Panning for gold. Not something I've ever done before. Tyson, on the other hand, is a pro, and quickly showed Tyler how to get it done.


Mark and Michaela...coolest twins ever.




The next day, we took Tyler to the Desert Museum. He was initially disappointed when he realized we weren't returning to the dinosaur museum, but soon perked up at the idea of seeing "animals." 

We started off with snakes, spiders, lizards and frogs. Then we made our way to the hummingbird aviary.




We went to a live show. We didn't expect it to be lecture style, but Tyler was a trooper and stayed through most of the presentation. First we learned about Gila Monsters...

Followed by rattlesnakes.

Next we stopped by the regular aviary.




Then we wandered around looking for more animals.




What a fun day!
