Walking With Dinosaurs

Last night my family went to the "Walking with Dinosaurs" show at the Energy Solutions Arena. Aidan is really into dinosaurs right now so for Christmas we got him tickets to the show. My mom, her friend Frieda and her grandson Justin were all able to come with us too. We weren't sure how Baylee was going to do, but she did great!
It was such an amazing show. Aidan absolutely loved it. It's basically and educational journey through all the different periods of time. The dinosaurs are all life size robots, that are so life like it is unreal. The Brachiosaurus and T-Rex were unbelievably HUGE! Aidan was filling me in on tid-bits about the dinosaurs all the way through the show. Like which ones were carnivores and herbivores, and what each of there defense systems are. For instance, the Brachiosaurus is an herbivore but it is so big and fat that none of the other dino's really mess with it. We were out in the hall before it started when he spotted some paleantologists. They had real fossils and bones so we went to talk to them. They were showing him the skill of an Allosaurus which is like a small T-Rex. Aidan "informed" the paleantologist that they had three claws but the T-Rex only had two. The paleantologist agreed. lol He knows so much about dinosaurs it kills me. He has a Leap Pad that he reads everynight before bed. One of the books is about dinosaurs which is where he gets the majority of his knowledge, because it's definitely not from me. He had a great time and Baylee did too. At one point she was hanging out with my mom in the little tunnel thing, and went to walk up to the fence to get a closer look. Right then the T-Rex roared SOOOO loud. I have never seen the girl move so fast. She was back in my moms arms in no time. It was hilarious. She was still smiling and laughing, but didn't want to do too much exploring after that. lol
We had a great time! Unfortunately I was one of the only people there who followed the "no cameras allowed" policy and missed out on taking any pictures, but it was a great night! We are also going to the Dinosaur Museum on Friday for his school field trip so it will be a Dinosaur themed week.
