Walking with Dinosaurs

 Seriously we have waited nearly nine months for this one.  We got in very early and got tickets really close and it was worth it.  The photos are taken on my iphone, so they are not up to snuff but you can get the idea. 

Levi was very excited!  And a little bit scared but he didn't want anyone to know that.  The show was fabulous.  The dinosaurs were 'life' size and incredibly realistic.  They move like real animals and had mannerisms like birds.  The stage play was great and you could see the supports on the creatures but Levi didn't!  We went with Ty and his Dad and the boys were chatting in the back of the car excited both there and back.  They were all about the popcorn and ice creams.

The people writing the stage play, knew their audience really well.  Pretty much everyone in the audience was a boy between the ages of 4 and 100, and anyone looking after said boys, so when one dinosaur dropped a huge load of steaming s*&#t the audience was enthralled.  When the paleontologist shoved his hand into it, they loved it more!  Worth every penny!

Walking with Dinosaurs

Walking with Velociraptors rather!  There are dinosaur skeletons in our newspaper.  They are to be put together as a big jigsaw puzzle and we just picked ours up.  The paper is delivered here at the bottom of the hill on the other side of the causeway.  I talked to the guy who delivers them and every day he is saving our dinosaurs, because we rarely get to the Newsagent.  Today we got 9 dinosaurs.  We put together the Velociraptor.  A little too hard for Levi by himself but not for both of us. 

Tonight I also bought Levi's birthday present.  I know that I am nearly 8 months early, but it was the best option.  The big dinos are coming on tour and we are going to see them.  I got tickets for Sunday 12th June, so I imagine it will be a very busy weekend as likely his birthday party will be that Saturday.
