Walking With Dinosaurs

So, I am still working on the Philly video. I may have to call in an expert. Until then, I have a few things to post. First, we were supposed to join our small group for a camping trip this weekend, but that did not work out. Kevin worked until after five on Friday putting in mom's kitchen floor, and the last thing I wanted to ask him to do was set up a campsite. He had to be on shift in the morning, and to tell you the truth, we needed a low-key family night out.

That being said, we headed to Pancakes n' Things for a quick supper and then we were off to Walking With Dinosaurs. I have to say, I probably should have known that Parker would rather sit in the hallway and eat a snow cone than see the humongous dinos. Yes, he did peek his head in every now and then, but to be honest, I think he was a little frightened. Or, he wanted some alone time with daddy. After all, as he said, "sometimes it is nice for it to be just you and me daddy." I think that was code for I am scared out of my boots, but I refuse to say so.

Greyson on the other hand was enthralled. The dinos were AMAZING and the scenery was great. I think he actually learned a lot about the different periods and the types of dinosaurs that existed in each. Of course, the T-Rex was a sight to see, but I think Greyson's favorite was the Brachiosaurus. Its head almost touched the ceiling of the Scope!!!

After the show, we walked to Station 1 to catch up with some of Kevin's buddies from his old shift. And, of course, the boys played on the trucks and the rescue boat. In any event, it was a great night. And although I was so excited about sleeping under the stars, this was the kind of night we needed.
