Dinosaur Park . 06.23.2012

Saturday morning we took advantage of another free admission, and headed to Dinosaur Park.  Of course, being a free weekend, the park was packed.  Luckily, we had planned accordingly, and got there just as they opened!

Ryder wore his dinosaur shirt, and was excited to see all the dinosaurs...and they lived up to the hype!  He kept running around, exclaiming "whoa" and pointing to all the dinosaurs.  It helped that he was "in charge" of looking for the next dinosaurs - he loved picking which path to take.


After walking around for a bit, we headed to the playground area.  Harvick and Jarrett were tentative of the smallest slide at first, but after going down a handful of times, seemed to like it more.  Then...Harvick got the great idea to slide down, head first, on his stomach - NOT something we showed him.  Once down one time, there was no stopping him.  He and Jarrett went down over and over again!

Taking turns sliding down the slide!

Ryder was a bit hesitant of the large dinosaur slide, but after watching a few other children go down, he was completely game for it.  He loved it!


Before leaving, we briefly walked through the first floor, but after not capturing Ryder's interest, we headed out.

We're so grateful for the free admission to local places this summer.  Dinosaur Park was definitely fun, but at $19 per visit (next year, it will be $29!), it would be hard to justify for only a few hours of fun.

Another fun weekend.  Together!
