Dinosaur Daycation Part 2

Sorry this took so long to post after part one, but I already showed these pictures to my mom and I doubt anyone else reads this. Either way, here goes...

After going to OMSI, we drove over to the Rose Garden to see the show Walking With Dinosaurs. It was a good, fun show, and I would recommend it even though it's a bit pricey. Also, if our kids were a little older, I probably would have had to debrief them a bit more after the show regarding all of the evolutionary/old earth dogma, but since they're 4 and 3, I don't think they processed too much of it. Overall, it was fun, though. Here are some pictures. We didn't get all that many since they didn't allow flash photography...

This is before the show started. We got there early and took our seats.

I don't know why Norah was making this face.

This is the stage when the lights were still on.

Norah waiting patiently:

H wanting to use the camera. "My turn, my turn--peeeeaase!"

The lights went down and the show started.

This is the only photo I took of any of the dinosaurs, but there are some videos following this if you're curious what the show looked like.

Haddon got very upset during intermission when his mom left him to go to the restroom.

The kids' grandma gave them some money to buy a souvenir at the show. They each picked one of these dinosaur hat/mask things. They were both destroyed by noon the next day.

Haddon liked his so much that he wore it into Red Robin for dinner after the show, which a lot of the workers and customers got a big kick out of.And here are some videos of the show...

This is Haddon watching the show. He was pretty dialed in:

So that's it. It was a fun day and we were grateful to enjoy it. The kids still talk about, so we know they appreciate having been able to go as well.
