Dinos at the MN Zoo

Autumn is a dinosaur (nut? obsessed 5 yr old? crazed girl?) well, you get the picture. :) The MN zoo has a traveling exhibit this summer filled with life sized anamatronic dinosaurs. We have been 3 times so far and will probably go a few more times before it leaves in September. She just gets SOOOO excited when we reach that part of the zoo it's hard to slow her down. These are in no particular order....

Autumn and Mommy (Erica) and Brachiosaurus (baby)

Dilophosaurus - he spits water at you, watch out! (would have been acid in reality)

Euoplocephalus

T-Rex (Rexy to Autumn) in the mist. It poured about 10 minutes after we finished our tour on opening day.

Did I mention that it POURED?

Autumn's FAVORITE dino: Rexy. She'd like him for a pet.

Mommy, another fierce dino hunter

Quetzalcoatlus.......and her offspring?

Our most recent visit was today (June 30th) and Aunt Kelly (Kurt's sister) went with us. Here they are riding a baby T-Rex. Even he is too big for our backyard.
