Exploring the Dinosaur Ridge Museum

READING: 

Last Saturday, I visited the

Dinosaur Ridge Museum. I had

a great time with my family in this

fabulous place. When we arrived, the sun

was shining, and it was a beautiful, sunny

day. First, we passed by dinosaur tracks.

While we were walking, we saw the

dinosaur bones, and we touched them.

Then we decided to take the dino van

(dinosaur van, get it?), and while we were

riding on the tour, we were amazed to

see an entire rock covered in dino tracks.

Next, we went to the Visitor’s Center

where we experimented with our hands.

We were digging in the backyard, when

we found some fossils. It was definitely

the best museum day in my life!
