adventures with grandma & grandpa c

we started out the day by going to the s.d.n.h.m.

san diego natural history museum

jones has been in love with dinosaurs!!!!

i didnt know he was this in love with them when i bought him a book from the library... i love that they sell their old books for 25 cents a piece!!!

i bought him a book about a little boy that takes a trip to the dinosaur museum... and the little boy in the book names all the different dinosaurs... we had only read it a couple times and i didnt know that jones paid that close attention...

but...

i took him to the dentist last thursday and he did great... so at the end of the visit he got to choose a prize... he chose a dinosaur and proceeded to tell all the girls in the office that it was an apatosaurus... i didnt even know what kind of dinosaur that was... and they were all asking me if he really knew the names of dinosaurs... haha...

when we went home... i looked it up... he calls every dinosaur an apatosaurus... obviously they are not all apatosaurus...

we are now working on understanding the differences

.....

the above picture:

he very much understood that this was a t-rex...

the animatronics scared him... A LOT!!!! .... as if you couldnt tell by just looking...

he loved when we found the HUGE apatosaurus... too bad we werent allowed to take pictures in the actual dinosaur exhibit...

although not a dinosaur... he was very excited to also see a mammoth...

the souvenir shop...

.....

then... we went to the mormon battalion historical site...

it was very worth while... so much better than i had ever expected!!!

if you have a half an hour and you are in san diego... this is a must see...

after walking the 2000 miles that the mormon battalion walked... there is panning for gold...

jones was a little timid at first...

but then got way into it... he loved panning...

then he learned to pump water like in the old days with an old fashion well...
