This week, my buddy, Colby celebrated his 5th birthday. We planned to take him to Earth Oceans, but the movie didn't start until two, and since we had Grammy with us we decided to take an even better field trip. I read about the Western Center, in Hemet. They have a Mastadon display, that I knew Colbs would love.
Aren't these the two cutest five year olds ever?
It was such a 'hands on' place, the kids had a chance to sort recyclables, use a stationery bike, and build with blocks in an attempt to follow patterns
The best part was definitely the HUGE Mastadon and Sloth they had on display
The kids thought this computer program was pretty neat
And, even had the opportunity to do a simulated dig 
This was the Sloth. Yikes, he was scary
And, Max the Mastadon, he is the biggest they've found
This is really cool. They found 'Little Stevie', mapped out his exact placement, and used his fossils to create this dig site. That is how they found him, and those are his bones, under glass
And, of course we stopped by the gift shop and bought my two favorite five year olds a special treat
Happy Birthday Colby!! We love you.
