A Day With the Dinosaurs

The dinosaurs were back at the zoo this summer! It's been a couple years since they were there and Tyler asks about them every summer. They were so excited to find out they were back. They looked forward to it for months until we finally got there. It was worth the wait. :-)

This is the only picture I have of the love and protection that came from Carsten that day. He was not convinced that the dinosaurs weren't real. For the most part he stayed back a ways from each dinosaur but he was ready at all times to save Aria if disaster struck. Aria on the other hand, had no fear whatsoever. And every single time she ran up to a dinosaur, Carsten ran after her and dragged her away. And every time he tried to drag her away and she yelled at him and fought it, he shouted, "Mommy, Daddy! Protect her!!!"

A couple days later they boys got to be paleontologists with these awesome eggs from the dinosaur gift shop. :-)

They were so excited about the fossils they found and loved getting to play scientist. :-)
