Dinosaurs

This summer the zoo had the exhibit, "Dinosaurs". Let me tell you, this was AMaZinG!!! I was going to the zoo at least once a week so that we could see the dinosaurs. Several times I even brought a book or two to read to the boys about the particular dinosaurs on display.
Saying that the boys loved this exhibit is a huge understatement.
One time the boys were looking at a plant-eating-dinosaur. Mikey proclaimed, "This dinosaur has women teeth."

I had no idea of what this meant, who was this chauvinistic child that I had? A mother was standing near me and looked at me for an answer to what he was meaning. So I asked Mikey what he meant by that.

"It means that the dinosaur is really good and nice"....awww my little gentleman.

T-Rex was a hit. The first time we saw the dinosaurs, William got scared by the giant T-Rex...but he soon got courage, as seen here:
Grant never got over his fear of T-Rex.
The boys would get so consumed with looking at the dinosaurs that it was difficult to get a picture of them looking at the camera.
The last dinosaur of the exhibit sprayed water onto unsuspecting visitors. So of course the boys loved standing in the spot that the water would spray, anticipating the surprise when the water actually emitted from the dinosaurs' mouth.From this exhibit the boys have really learned a lot. They learned the terms herbivore, carnivore, and omnivore. They talk a lot about dinosaurs and their fossils. They talk about the fact that God needed the earth for humans, so He had all the dinosaurs die. And Roger always mentions that Saltipus is in Heaven.
