Grandma and Grandpa Burt took Ty and Luke to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden a few Saturdays ago. Of course Mom and Dad were silly and forgot the camera. We went throughout the museum first. We looked at all sorts of bones and such. In one place their were animatronic dinosaurs. There was a T-Rex and a Mama Triceratops protecting her two babies from the ferocious predator. It was a whole dramatic setup-lights, sounds, scenery. Luke was really apprehensive to get too close to the exhibit. We carefully explained that the dinosaurs were not real. They were robots to show us what it may have been like when dinosaurs were on the earth. This seemed to make sense to him and put his mind at ease.
As we roamed the park we taught Luke how to decipher if a dinosaur was a meat eater or a plant eater based on the shape of its teeth and claws. Grandpa bought fish food for the pond in the middle of the park. We roamed the park, searching in "the jungle" as Luke called it, for dinosaurs lurking in the trees. The boys had a great time. Luke has continued to talk about it off and on. Grandma and Grandpa even bought the boys souvenir dinosaurs.
The culmination was Tuesday night. We were on our way to soccer. Jake and I were discussing some aspect of our day when Luke interrupted. He said.
"Mom, dinosaurs don't live on the earth anymore, now they are robots!" We laughed so hard.

If Ty is anything like Marissa, we may possible set some Guiness record for most destruction and chaos in the shortest period of time! I would love to get together. Crystal and I tried, but it fell through. It'd be great to get the three of us and the kids together.
Oh, also, congratulations! You are now in the double digits with days left!
SMART KID!!! I miss Lukisms. That musuem is where Grace learned her first bad word!
