Roaaaarrrrrr!

Blogger doesn't want to upload a few videos. I'll keep working and update this when I can, but here are the stills for now (gotta get this up for Grandma to see!)

My awesome brother got us a family pass to Royal Tyrell Dinosaur Museum for Christmas. It's been on my list of things to do for a while, and we were so excited to actually head up, Calista especially. 

She was so excited, in fact, that she ran into the first little exhibit ahead of us... and then the dinosaurs roared. Calista had no idea where the roaring came from, and it scared her. She rushed back to us and begged to go home. Uh, no way, kid. 

So, she covered her eyes, and I carried her through to the next room. I told her that she should roar back at the dinosaurs, and then they would be afraid of her!

We saw some awesome stuff, like this (which Kyler cut the head off of).

This is Black Beauty, a gorgeous T-rex skeleton. Man, it was so cool. We saw lots of T-rex's, actually. 

 Kyler's turn to stand by one, because why not?
Calista got over her fears, because there were too many other cool things to see. She was kind of hard to get pictures of, actually, because she was always on the move!

She said this scale model was her size. The one in back? Daddy-sized.
Speaking of measuring up...

Calista is a bit smaller than a dinosaur.

 With a diemetrodon.

We stayed looking at the bubbles for a while, Calista naming the colors as they changed. She was mesmerized.
We discovered that reading all the dinosaur books really has taught Calista something.

Do you know what kind of dinosaur this is? No? Calista does.

Yep, that's an ichthyosaurus. Who knew Calista could say that? We didn't.

We had such a good time, I am so excited to go back and use our family pass again!

Seriously, folks, next time you visit us in Alberta, come look at dinosaurs with us.

And, don't forget to roar back at them!
