First Dentist Visit!

Oscar had his first dentist visit this morning! I was worried going into it how this was going to go, I mean he is only three, and the dentist can give adults heart palpitations. Oscar did great, and was a champ! He selected bubble gum polish and after his check up received a big Spiderman sticker, bracelet, and squishy frog as well as a bag full of teeth cleaning goodies. Since he did so great, we took him for a blueberry scone to celebrate a successful first dentist visit.

Jurassic Oscar

The Museum of Idaho  has an exhibit Teeth, Tails, & Trouble that has been running since January. The whole exhibit is dinosaurs, and the main piece is the largest, most complete T Rex in the world. Oscar was very excited about going and seeing dinosaurs. Sue, the T Rex, is from the Field Museum in Chicago and has traveled to Idaho Falls with several other dinosaur companions. 

When we got to the museum, Oscar was a little scared to go in at first, believing there were going to be real dinosaurs like at the zoo. Oh to be a child again! Soon we were in the museum and face to face with Sue. It was pretty incredible, and I was impressed by how many complete skeletons they had in the exhibit. It is wonderful that we get to see such great exhibits, there next one is King Tut!
