You may recall that I'm a megalophobic. I've been petrified to go into a museum without knowing what's in there. Recently, I decided to attempt to conquer my fears. Chris needed to go to OU for work and so we decided to turn it into a family field trip to Sam Noble. I've checked this place out online and could barely sit through the video. But, I knew Elle would really like to go and I wanted to be able to do this stuff with her. Dinosaurs are in the top 5 big things that give me nightmares. It took A LOT of pep talks to walk into the building, then into each room, and people probably think I'm a freak! But, I eventually saw each dinosaur and it wasn't so bad after I had been next to them. It worked out that the first room we went to had just part of a dinosaur head and neck, then the next room had smaller dinosaurs, and finally we worked our way up to the big ones. This really helped me ease into it.
The upstairs had a fun nondinosaur display of animals and caves for the kids to play in.
The discovery room is cool too. Lots of toys, books, animals to touch, and a dino dig!
Overall, it was a fun place to go. I don't think I can just walk right back in, but it would be easier the next time.
