Dinosaurs!!

So, we went up to the Heber Valley Railroad to ride their new Dinosaur Train.  While the train ride itself is always fun for the kids, the event itself was underwhelming at best.  I did enjoy the "Dinosaur Hunting License" they gave the kids.



I already know a fair amount about dinosaurs because of my time as a volunteer junior docent at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum in Price. 

For example, do you know how to differentiate an Allosaurus from a Tyrannosaurs Rex? Look at the claws.  "Al" has three, T-Rex only has two.
