MOR with Gramme and Grandad

One of the last times Leif's parents were here, they all went with Ellie to the Museum of the Rockies. I think I was attending some training for Mary Kay, so I missed the adventure. For those of you who missed the adventure, too, here are some pictures...

Big Mike, Ellie's favorite dinosaur...

Ellie exploring the exhibits at the museum. Their current exhibits are on how toys work and different kinds of treehouses, which is perfect for little kids to enjoy! We have seen the exhibits several times and Ellie hasn't tired of it yet! In fact, she asks pretty much every day if we can go to the dinosaur museum because she loves it so much.

Dinosaur Rex

Ellie's favorite animal right now is.... the mighty dinosaur. She loves to pretend to be a dinosaur, and she loves to talk about dinosaurs. The other day I asked her what her favorite dinosaur was and she told me, "Mike!" Mike is the dinosaur pictured above, who stands in front of the Museum of the Rockies. When I asked her what kind of dinosaur Mike was, she proudly told me, "He's a dinosaur Rex!"

Another Ellieism

"The biggest dinosaur in the whole world is the dinosaur rex!"

This is what Ellie told me this afternoon.

At the Museum

On Saturday Leif took Ellie to the Museum of the Rockies for a while. Seems they had a good time...

Big Mike behaved himself and only tried to bite Ellie's head once.

Luckily, she escaped to the safety of a nearby bench to recover from her close call.

Then she thanked her rescuer father with a kiss. Pucker up!

All in all, it appears that they spent most of the museum visit outside exploring the farm. They had a good time, Ellie climbing on things, and Leif taking pictures of the little cutie.
