Zoo Part 2

The main draw for the zoo trip Friday was the new Dinosaur Exhibit. Caden became fascinated with dinosaurs this year at school when they did a small unit on the animals. He really knows his stuff now! He knew several of them by name, and then told me one of them was a honking dinosaur and all of a sudden it started to honk!

The exhibit has true to size creatures, the lighting was great and the sound effects were amazing! There were some you could control by pushing buttons and even an archaeological dig site. It was great and the boys loved it!

T-Rex...it was ginormous!!!
Carter loves this "baby dinosaur!"

Caden controlling one of them.
Caden called this the long neck...can't remember its name, but it is one of his favorites. He calls his Daddy the long neck one :)
Caden was in heaven!!!
Triceratops
This is the one that was at the beginning and scared Brooklyn! She isn't in any pictures because Grammie was carrying her through the entire time!

How fun! Gayleen and I went touring the nursery area Sunday--she'd never been there since the painting! And Aunt Shirley UNLOCKED the door and let us in to cuddle the babies--including yours--He's so sweet. We never seen them till they are four so everyone but Cole had to be identified for us! I recognized him from his pictures!
