The second our kids' feet hit the parking lot pavement, they were off in search of where the dino noises were stemming from. The first extinct creatures greeted us within feet of our arrival in the gates. A massive herbivore guards the lion exhibit while his high speed little companion squawks at guests. A zoo worker took advantage of our son's pure delight over the dino guests and the two of them had quite the time discussing facts and observations. It was even more charming that my son is currently sporting a woodchuck footprint on the back of his little noggen. Don't ask why a woodchuck. It's where his brain was at when his tush hit the barber's chair.
While the actual live animals at the
zoo were of some interest, our time was highlighted by "what dino is next!" We hustled toward noises and lights and met each and every dino nestled into the greenery and rocks throughout the grounds. It was magic for our littles and because of that, it was also magic for Tim and me. After a day of wishing summer away as a Mama, THIS was a breath of fresh air. Thank you #dinoslivewithtoyota.
