Shonda and I decided to take the boys to the Heard Museum in McKinney for the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit. http://www.heardmuseum.org/attractions/exhibits/dinosaurs.asp
It was really good. Basically life-ish size dinos in the bushes along a nature trail. They are attached to a motion sensor so that they move and make noise when you get close.
The first group we came to were 3 dinos ranging in size. Ethan and Devin were wary, but walked up close. I was holding Wyatt on my hip. When the dino moved and roared, though, the boys took off running in the other direction and I was suddenly wearing a Wyatt shaped backpack!
Ethan and Devin warmed up after a few displays. It would have helped had Shonda not yelped as if one of the dinos had bitten her when she pet it. Although, it was Really funny to watch the boys scream and run again! Wyatt never did really trust the whole situation, though. As you can tell from the last pics that were taken with the boys sitting on a dino.
Ethan really had fun and now tells anyone who will listen about the dinosaurs he saw and how big the T-rex was. He makes sure and explains, though, that they were not real. Only plastic. And they couldn't run after you because their feet were stuck down. I love that he noticed the feet! We told him they were plastic, but he reasoned out the feet thing all on his own!
