Ricky was out of school for a teacher work day, so I took the boys to the Dinosaur Park.
This is the cooperation I get when I say, “Hey, boys! Look at the camera!”
We spent a little bit of time playing with the volcano and toy dinosaurs, the matching dinosaur game, and using the magnifying glasses to look at small geodes.
Then outside to the dinosaurs!
No visit is complete without a stop at the face boards…
As we wandered around outside looking at the dinosaurs, Ricky was completely absorbed in following our path on the small map we had. Billy and Rusty just wanted to run from dinosaur to dinosaur as fast as they could, and Tommy just kept pointing and saying, “Look! Look!” at everything.
Tommy was also a bit annoyed that he had to ride in the stroller. His brothers weren’t in a stroller so why was he? When we finished looking and stopped at the playground, I let him out. He was thrilled to run and climb and be free!
This is him spotting a dinosaur near the playground …
Ricky and Billy think they are old pros at the dinosaur park now after having visited it enough times and doing day camp there last summer.
The dinosaurs were cool, but let us not forget the ducks …
I handed the camera over to Ricky so that I could be in a picture this time. He did a pretty darn good job …
And then there was this one …
The dinosaur park is a fun place. Hopefully, we’ll go a few more times before our pass expires. Rusty is already asking for us to go back.
