Dino Camping

Scott has some time off, so of course we had to do some camping! We decided to go to Drumheller, Alberta, home of everything dinosaur. We had a great time there - Moses still loves Dinosaurs more than anything else and Kael likes them too, so they both had a good time. Unfortunately I forgot my camera, so all of these pictures were taken on my iphone. I know... Scott told me about a billion times.... What is the point of taking a photography class if you don't bring your camera with you when it really matters?!!!!!

Moses called that stick his pet elephant and informed us that it wasn't very smart, because it had a little brain. There was a small part on the top of the stick that looked somewhat brain-like and it was actually very small.
Scott is rigging up a trap to catch a chipmunk...and yes in that second picture there is a very frightened chipmunk under that green box!

 Having boys can be lots of fun!
Lots of love for the Dinos! XOXO
Even the scary T-Rex was fun! The T-Rex in the second picture was pretty cool. It would move and growl and even blink its eyes! The funny thing was when Kael first saw it, he got a serious look on his face, turned around and ran, didn't cry or anything....just ran! As you can tell, Scott was a huge fan of it. He couldn't stop looking at it even without the boys!
The boys got to dig for fossils. They found a bunch - and got to keep one each. Kael got a prehistoric shark tooth and Moses got an Ammonite fossil (click here if you want to see what that is). Moses was super excited about his and held it the entire drive home. He kept talking about how there were pictures of Ammonite in his book and he was going to show us when we got home.  Just after we got home, before we even went into the house, Moses tripped on our walk, fell, and chipped a piece off of his fossil. He was so upset! He threw the fossil away because it was broken (we started teaching him about getting rid of broken things when we got tired of taping up his Christmas crafts...in June!). I tried to tell him it was still good, but he was convinced otherwise. So sad for little Moses. :(

Kyan is absolutely terrified of the big dinosaur right in the entrance way of the tyrell, he cries every time and will not go in the room. The first time he saw it he was so excited untill he walked in the room and it growled at him. He did his best to protect Melia by not letting her in the room but she never listens. We went again recently (my parents live there) and he is still terrified. We have to carry him through the room crying. I hear you guys are moving to Vances home town - maybe we will see you there =)
