So we took a little trip to California right before school started. My best friend Angela was having her bridal shower (I was in charge of games) and we also wanted to see Ben's family before school started. We always pass by Cabazon off the I 10 and think gee we should stop and let the kids see the dinosaurs...you might remember them from a certain pee wee movie..anyhow we are usually in a rush to get to our destination and then we usually forget on our way back. Mostly because on the east bound part of the freeway you can't see them till you have already passed them.
Anyhow this time we decided to stop. It was mostly Ben's idea...what a great Daddy!
Turns out that you walk up the inside of this Dinosaurs Tail and the belly is a gift shop. The Museum is actually around the corner. The whole thing is owned by a church that likes to post anti evolution posters all around. I guess the theme is the Dinosaurs were real but evolution isn't. But we didn't care about all that, the kids were just excited to see big dinosaurs up close!
Here is Triston being eaten and Nika running away in fright... hmmm the landscaper in the background doesn't seem frightened at all...
(yeah if you notice there isn't a whole of landscaping to take care of... Ben and I were laughing because the guy was weed wacking dirt mostly and the one patch of weeds anywhere... Hope they aren't paying him very much....
gotta check out the T-rex...
Photo of Daddy and all the kiddo's. It was a bit hot and windy hence the hair flying and the red cheeks...
Here is a shot to show you the size perspective..
A parting shot of the T-rex... loved this it was fun 10 min rest stop. If your driving past it and you have kids take a stop stretch your legs and make some memories with the kids! We did!

My boys would TOTALLY love this! As is they are loving all the pic's you provided for their viewing pleasure. Thanks!
What fun!!!! We have wanted to stop there too, when driving to and from Az. We will have to make a stop when we come out in Nov. Miss you!!!
Oh yeah, that is SUCH a great picture of Ben and the kids!!! It's so nice to see my brother smiling in a picture!!!
We need to stop there sometime. We pass it going to Indio (when we go). I know my kids would love it too. Darren just never wants to stop. But seeing as it is just about an hour and a half from us we should just go out for a drive and see them. One day.
So Fun! If we ever pass I hope we have time to stop check it out. Glad you had time to stop and have fun. (and so you could share the cool pictures.)
