Dino fun

Ehu asked Darrell to watch her boys Kolee and Nohi the first Saturday in May because she was working and Kory was going to be on Molokai.  Since I had to stay home, he was on his own with them. The Dinosaur exhibit had just opened at Bishop Museum so he took them there.  The kids had been there before but they were thrilled when they saw the dinosaurs!

This is what Bishop Museum's website says about it:  "The entertaining and educational exhibit features 10 full-sized moving and roaring animatronic dinosaurs and ice-age mammals. The exhibition starts in the time of the Ice Age, more than 2.6 million years ago, with a family of Saber Tooth Tigers and a Mastodon, which most closely resembles a modern day elephant. Going even farther back in time, visitors are transported to the age of the dinosaurs where they will encounter the infamous Tyrannosaurus Rex and a giant Apatosaurus, once known commonly as a Brontosaurus. Examine the hatchlings of the Maiasaura and see how dinosaurs cared for and raised their young.

Additional features include a hands-on robotic skeleton which visitors can control, crayon rubbing tables of simulated bone impressions, and a dinosaur dig. “Museumgoers frequently ask our staff when the dinosaurs plan on coming back,” said Mike Shanahan, director of visitor experience, education and planetarium. “After a two-year hiatus, we are proud to finally announce their return, along with their ice age friends to teach us how life on earth evolved after the extinction of the dinosaurs.” Life Through Time: Dinosaurs and Ice Age Mammals is presented by Horizon Lines."

They all had a great time checking out the dinosaurs as well as the rest of the museum, which has a lot of interactive sections.

It must have been tiring because the boys fell asleep in the car on the way home and even turned down going to a movie!

Darrell really enjoyed taking care of his nieces Ipo and Ehu when they were little and it's been great that Ehu and family live on Oahu now so we can spend time with them.
