We love Dinosaurs!!

For our family home evening activity tonight we of course headed over to the dino museum (and yes we are going again tomorrow morning). But seriously, with this cold snowy weather who doesn't just need a great place to run around and play? (This picture isn't very clear, but is an attempt of Daddy Hem to feed Little Hema to T-Rex.)On Monday nights the museum does different little activities for FHE and tonight they hid pictures of dragons in the museum for you to find and and count. Little Hema had so much fun looking for them. The museum is so awesome and even though we go there a lot, I still see cool new things nearly every time. (It is the worlds largest display of mounted dinosaurs, which means there is a LOT to see.) Here is one of my favorite things there. It is a giant turtle that is nearly 16 feet across! It is so cool. And I have seen pictures of this dinosaur (the Platybelodon) before. It is so weird. It's like a small elephant but the trunk opens like an alligator mouth with weird big teeth at the bottom. So strange. Just today I noticed that they had this skull there of one. Totally nasty and yet, really cool! Vela is loving being able to run around and not being stuck in the stroller. She follows Hema and copies what ever he does.

This coming Friday we are going to this neat Walking with the Dinosaurs show at the Energy Solutions Arena. We are so excited. We bought the tickets months ago and both Hemas love to sit and watch the clips online and talk about how much fun it will be! Our lives would be much less exciting without all these dinos!

And now off topic, here is a picture of the kids on Sunday. Hema loves to try and hold Vela so she doesn't walk away when we are taking pictures. Vela doesn't love it so much. This is another of the cute Tongan dresses grandma Katoa made her!
