The boys posed with the Pachycephalosouri out front.
This is Black Beauty, a Tyrannosaurus Rex whose bones turned black because of the sediment she/he fossilized in.
We learned that the Royal Tyrell is the only museum in the world to house three full T-rex skeletons. All of which were found in Alberta.
A weird lizard thing that apparently you are not supposed to sit on.
There were many museum hosts who were carrying around little bags and if you stopped and asked them what they had, they would take stuff out and explain it to you. The one was dino poop.

Matthew was supposed to go back for another activity but he decided he wanted to swim instead. 
Since it was rainy, most of the country was at the museum in the morning and our tickets were good all day, Matthew and I decided to head back after supper. When we got there the place was almost deserted (maybe 10 people were there). It was so wonderful. We got to take our time or skip stuff, we got to enjoy all the interactive computer additions to the exhibits without having to jostle with several other people. The best part was when we went into the tunnel of the Devonian Sea. It is a large exhibit with plexiglass on the floor, walls and ceiling with a recorded and light co-rodinated explanation of all the creatures. I sat down on the floor near the back wall and Matthew climbed in to my lap. We sat through the presentation three times without a single other person to interrupt us just soaking in the information and the snuggles. This was my most favorite moment of the whole trip.
