Dinosaur Zoo

Helena has been quite interested in dinosaurs for some time now, so when the theatre just down the street started to show "Dinosaur Zoo", going to see it was an easy decision!

The show is set up so the "zookeeper" teaches you about dinosaurs while the dinosaurs come out.

When a puppeteer/zookeeper ran out and announced that the T. Rex had gotten loose, Helena yelled "I want to go home Mommy!"  After a tight squeeze, a promise that I would protect her, and a reminder that the dinosaurs are just puppets, she calmed down.  But it was amazing how life-like they were.

After the show the baby dinosaurs were out so we could see them.  Helena was very brave when touching the baby triceratops and baby duck-billed dinosaur (the hadrosaur), but she stayed safe by only touching the blanket of the baby T. Rex.

For our wonderful niece Anamarie

Our niece recently emailed us, asking us to come visit soon and telling me that she loves the blog.  There's nothing like that for encouragement to get back on here!

So, Anamarie, these pictures are for you.  We try to have dinner picnics once a week, and this one took place on a rooftop garden.  I wish you could come eat with us!
