Creative Discovery Museum

Our original plan for this weekend was to make the long trek to Dinosaur World. Ryan's dinosaur obsession is at its peak, and we want to take him before he's over it. We came up with this brilliant plan on Thursday, not leaving ourselves very much time for planning or for arranging for a dog sitter. Of course, we made the mistake of telling Ryan all about it-so, when we bailed on the idea we had to make it up to him somehow. I did a little searching on the internet and discovered that the children's museum in Chattanooga has a dinosaur exhibit-and off we went to the Creative Discovery Museum.

To say that Ryan loved the "Excavation Station" is an understatement. We spent nearly 2 hours in this tiny exhibit room. He didn't care that there was an entire museum to explore.

He and daddy checked out the giant t-rex...

He went digging for fossils

Explored some caves

And even played with some dinosaur play sets and puzzles

After literally dragging him from the dinosaur room, it took some convincing, but he made his own turkey craft

And then checked out the electricity exhibit...(right before he ran back to the dinosaur room for round 2!)

On the way out we made a stop in the water room. Luckily, it took his mind off of the dinosaurs long enough so that we could make our exit without a scene!

Luke finally got to participate too! He loved all of the silly mirrors in the tower room!

Hopefully we'll be making our way to dinosaur world in the next couple of weeks! I'm quite sure Ryan is going to lose his mind when he sees it!
