Saturday night was our third Dozing with the Dinos event at the Field Museum. I don't think I blogged about it last year, but this year we brought Porgs in addition to Stan (the T-Rex), Rex (the brachiosaurus named after clone trooper Captain Rex), and Oscar (the stuffed orca we adopted on our honeymoon). The original trio may be a bit jealous of the porg, but surprisingly they all behaved when we got to visit the Fossil Prep area and the dinosaur storage area. (The first three pictures are from the fossil prep area outside the Evolving Planet exhibit, and the porg is checking out dinosaur eggs in the storage area.) They also checked out some other exhibits, as you'll see below.
Studying porgs' relationship to other birds.
I think the porg were a little too curious when they examined this cast of a T-rex skull.
The boys check out Sue's new digs.
The boys try to offer the porg to the Egyptian dead.
Did the Egyptians have a porg-headed god?Off to all go exploring together!
I think you had more fun with the stuffed animals than anything else! Guess the Egyptians didn't take the Porgs as a sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the menagerie now.
ReplyDeleteAlex, we started taking pictures of stuffed animals on our honeymoon, when we adopted Oscar. The others came later.
ReplyDeletePat, this isn't even half of Alex's collection. You should see how many show up for bedtime reading.
