Here we are in the car on the way to the Museum of the Rockies! Scrounge rode along in case we went to the thrift store, but she didn't come in the museum because the sign said "No Pets." Also, she finds museums boring.

The bronze statue outside the museum is named Big Mike.  I thought he looked really cool with the snow on him.  He was cast from a skeleton that is in the museum's collection, but the only part of the actual skeleton on display is its skull.

We looked at the other exhibits before the dinos.  The underwear through the ages exhibit made us giggle a bit.	Karin liked the display of old cameras.

The museum has some displays you can touch.  Here's Luna and I playing a game like Native American children would have played hundreds of years ago.	And we got to sit on this saddle!  Yee-haw!

I'm glad we don't have to use a pump every time we want water!  My arms got tired really fast.

Then it was dinosaur time!	This part of the museum is called the Bowman Fossil Bank, and you can watch them cleaning real fossils!  This nice lady showed us a tooth/jaw fossil that came from some sort of small mammal.

Then we looked at the cool displays that show how dinosaurs may have looked when they were alive.  This is a baby Maiasaurus.	We thought this was a triceratops, but after reading the display we found out it wasn't.

THIS is a triceratops!  His name is MORT and the nice volunteer lady said it was okay to touch him.

Then we looked at the animated triceratops babies.  They were way cute.  I was sad when we had to leave.	When we got home, Luna and I made pictures of the things we had seen at the museum.  What a fun day!
