Dinosaur Park

-
Last weekend we took D to Field Station: Dinosaurs a very tame, toddler friendly Jurassic Park minus the real dinosaurs and all the bloodshed. And when I say toddler friendly I mean it.. anyone over the age of ten may have been bored. The dinosaurs made noises.. and moved a very small amount but for a three year old it was very real. In fact our very first dinosaur was a pointed toothed carnivore roaring at a startled D.


After a while he warmed up to a few herbivores.. even roared back as long as mommy was near by.. but by the time we got to dino number 6 he too seemed to be less interested. Not really worth the $25 adult admission.

Cute photos
Wow, that is a steep admission price. He's brave to growl back.
When I was D's age, I though thunder is dinosaur's footsteps. I think as timid as I was then, I'd still be screaming after seeing the creatures in life size. lol

My usually timid boy never fails to surprise me with his sudden bouts of boldness and braveness.
You haven't heard how much the food cost.. $8 for a tiny little pizza!
Thunder as dinosaur's footsteps.. that was quite an imagination

That's a pricey ticket, sorry it wasn't more engaging. He looks like he's having fun at first though. You look great, I love your belly. :)

What a fun idea for a park! 25 bucks a ticket does seem a little steep. :)

Looks so fun! I am kinda in shock about the admission price - but I guess to see them enjoy these kinda excursions is sometimes worth it!

So fun! Looks totally like an adventure for little toddlers. Surprised about the $25 admission - worth it I guess to see the look on their little faces.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

Image
When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
