Dinosaur Museum in Milford

 The kids with Ruby (Emalea's youngest daughter). She just jumped in the picture, she's not shy!
 Several multiple families.  1 set of triplets, 3 sets of twins, 3 singletons.
 Will messing around (actually, I told him to do that).
 Examining the life-sized dino models.
 Feeling the sharp teeth!
 A real T-Rex skeleton!


 Almost all the multiple families that were there. 2 triplets, 6 sets of twins, 3 singletons. There were more that aren't in the picture. All in all, about 9 families came.
A good photo!

Did you know there was a dinosaur museum in Milford? Neither did I, until our social coordinator for the multiples club planned a spring break outing there. Since we didn't have anything else to do, we just went. Admittedly, it was a little expensive (my friend Jess went with us and with the group discount I still spent $36 to get us all in) and it's not huge, but it is nice. There are some dinosaur bones, skeletons, etc. but mostly there are life-size models of smaller dinosaurs and busts of the bigger ones. They have a life-sized, life-like head of a T-Rex right at adult eye level, it is a little creepy! There were lots of things to look at and read. The best part (according to the kids) was the mirror maze. It's really hard and you have to go slow to keep from running into the mirrors, which by the way, are smudge proof, so there is no way to see hand-prints and know that it's a mirror, not a walk-way. They must have run through that maze a dozen times, they loved it! We ended up staying for about an hour and a half, then we drove back into town to eat lunch and play at McDonald's. Three kids collapsed when we got home! A good way to spend a spring break morning!
