Thanksgiving Point $2 Buck Tuesdays

During the whole month of August, Thanksgiving Point has what is called $2 buck Tuesdays, pretty self explanatory. Thanksgiving Point is someplace I have always wanted to go to, but normally they are pretty expensive so we have never been. It is home to 3 main exhibits, a Dinosaur Museum, Gardens, and Animal Barns. We had the opportunity to visit the Dinosaur Museum and the Animal Barn. Hopefully next year we can visit the gardens, they are suppose to be beautiful with the worlds largest man man waterfall.

Dinosaur Museum

Phoebe didn't enjoy the dinosaur museum as much as we thought she would. I think it was too crowded for her and she was more intrested in the real little goldfish they had in the streams than any of the dinosaurs.

Here Phoebe is playing in the erosion pool and helping to excavate dinosaur bones. She is a natural born paleontologist, digging in the dirt is already one of her favorite activities.

Animal Barn
The animal barn was more to our wee ones likings, she ran from animal to animal (pigs excludded, she hates pigs) trilled to watch them eat and even more often trying to feed them her hands.


They also had tons of cute baby animals to see, here are a few of my favorites.

Here is proof we feed our child. The scale is reading 100lbs, she is the same weight as 5 new born lambs. Although, I am not exactly sure if this scale is entirely accurate, because when I got on it, I weighed the same as 3-4 new born calfs (300 lbs).
