Meteor Crater

On our way home from Arizona, we stopped at the Meteor Crater. The boys were pretty impressed with the size of the crater, and they LOVED learning all about the crater and other meteors/meteorites that have been discovered. 

View from the outside observation deck.

The bottom was so far down!

All of my boys standing out on the observation deck. :)
It was super windy out there!

Jason watching the re-enactment of the meteor striking the desert. 

This was a display in which the kids could listen in on phones
while a scientist talked about his discovers. Shawn particularly liked
this attraction. 

Jack read quite a bit of this before he needed help!

Jason exploring the bottom of the crater...
or at least looking like he is!

Jack at the bottom of the crater...lol

Shawn liked this display, too!

Jack's favorite part was a movie theater that showed a detailed
reenactment of the meteor striking the earth.

I think we must have read every single word in that place. lol. The boys had a great time!
