Dinosoars at the Zoo!

So this year we decided to get a zoo pass for the kiddos and we've had so much fun with it so far. In fact for a few months, we have dinosaurs at our Zoo ! Here are just a couple of pictures of the kids faces while we walked around the exhibit.

First is Charlie, he LOVED it. I expected him to stand up and growl right back at the dinosaurs and beat his chest at them like every boy does when something loud is coming toward him. But instead he just watched them, wide-eyed and in awe, just soaking it all in. I think he was in little boy heaven and could take no other action than to just ooh and aah.

Then there was our sweet, little, tenderheart, Sophie who before we even entered the building could hear the sounds and knew this wasn't a place she ever wanted to step foot in! Don't worry Stephanie, Jess didn't make her suffer long. I was able to snap this pic as they zoomed out of that loud, dark, scary place!

Next we have my little Ella. I just loved this picture. Neither of my kids are scared of much and Ella is the most dramatic of the two. I kept expecting her to give me some of her classic melodramatic faces that she is so practiced at with her wide worried eyes and hand covered mouth but it didn't come. Instead I just got a lot of quizzical looks from her, and it just cracked me up. I would have given anything to hear what was going on inside that little head of hers just then.

Finally we had Amos. The one who loves dinosaurs the most. His favorite move at the moment is Land Before Time and knows all the names (Sharptooth, Littlefoot, Spike, Petrie) you get the idea. Well when we walked in the doors our sweet little Amos buried his head in his mother's neck the whole time clinging for dear life. And wouldn't you know it, right when we were leaving he lifts his head up and looks at his mom and asks "lets go again, lets go again!" All in all it was a hit and we will return again!
