Dino Quest at Missouri Botanical Garden

While Uncle Mark and Memere were here, we decided to take Memere on a trip to the Missouri Botanical Gardens for DinoQuest! An exhibit they have with plants and climate that were most likely similar to when the dinosaurs ruled the earth. It was pretty exciting for the kids to see the replicas of the dinosaurs they have learned so much about watching Dinosaur Train on PBS Kids. Everytime Piper would see a new one, her and Kaya would roar the appropriate roar. The plants and flowers were absolutely beautiful and there was a lot to learn! Inside the exhibit the children got to dig for dinosaur bones, read dinosaur books and pretend to play at the 'dino cafe'. We saw a T-Rex, Pterodactyls, and even "Micro" Raptors! It was a great experience for the kids and also to take advantage of the wonderful weather at the Garden.

We walked around afterward and fed the koi fish at the large pond near the Japanese garden, the kids thought that was so cool! Click here to see all the pictures from the day.
