Tori and Kate’s Dinosaur activities:

We read and discussed dinosaur articles.

We read and notebooked out way through the wonderful chapter about dinosaurs in our science book: Land Animals of the Sixth Day by Apologia.

Our awesome field trip: Ogden Dinosaur Park! And we got a discount for being homeschoolers. They counted us as a school field trip. I love it.

We met a T-Rex (and info plaque) at the trailhead.
