Rewards

Britian is in the middle of being potty trained. He isn't very motivated though, so his parents promise him different rewards for the times when he actually goes. One of those rewards was a night out with Aunt Caitlyn and Uncle Jon (we feel honored to be considered a reward)! We asked him what he wanted to do, and where he wanted to go. He didn't even hesitate with his answer: He wanted to go back to the Dinosaur Museum! So we picked up some pizza and ate dinner in the car on the way. When we got there, we spent the first 45 minutes or so in the "Tinker Shop."  His favorite part is still by far the shadow machine.

My mom happened to be coming back from Ogden with Kannon around this time so we called her and told her to just bring him by. The more the merrier, right?

Finally inside the museum!

They had sound effects of Dinosaurs roaring playing throughout the museum this time and Britian was scared of the noises so Jon distracted Britian with the hands-on activities while I took Kannon to see the T-Rex.

They had this scale with all the dinosaurs weights listed on it. You could stand on the scale and see which Dinosaur your weight was closest too. Even will all 4 of us on the scale, we didn't weigh as much as the T-Rex.

There is a big theater in the museum as well where they show educational movies. We didn't want to fork over the money to pay for that, but Britian saw the door to the theater open the last time we came and when he tried to go in, Jon and I attempted to persuade him not to by telling him that there was a ghost inside. Unfortunately it had the opposite effect, and he has been talking about "scary room with the ghost" ever since we left the museum last time. So this time we promised him that we would show him inside. There was a movie going on at the time, but the employees told him he could go in for a minute. He wanted Jon to go in with him to "scare away the scary ghosts!" They went inside the theater twice, but Britian didn't see any ghost and now whenever we see him he still brings up the room and how he wants to go back there to see the scary ghost. I might have to bring a white sheet next time we go and play the part to satisfy him...
