The Heard Museum

On Sunday, we met up with one of my best friends from childhood and her son to explore the Heard Science Museum.  We lucked into being there for their 45th anniversary celebration, so the boys got to meet and pet all kinds of animals and pick fossils, but the main event for them was the animatronic dinosaurs.
 
Here they are checking out an ipad app for identifying bird sounds:
 
Tell me that isn't the cutest raccoon you ever saw:
 
The dinosaur trail kicked off with a T. Rex that made the boys nervous...
 
...but the T. Rex wasn't as scary for them as this ferocious guy...
 
...because he was a spitter!  Every couple minutes, this guy would spit a stream of water that looked just like the dino with the ruffle neck in Jurassic Park (minus the ruffle).  It's one of the few times I've seen Grant be afraid of anything!
 
I helped Summer check out the 'little' dinosaurs:
