Walk With Dinosaurs

A few weeks ago we took the kids to see "Walk With Dinosaurs". Jason is dinosaur-crazy and Sydney truly enjoys them too- at least I am pretty sure she enjoys them for herself & not just for Jason. It took me awhile to convince Brad that we should go, but he finally relented. The biggest issue was the tickets were quite pricey & we really were not sure what the show really entailed. However, since we have a boy that talks about dinosaurs about 75% of his waking moments and can say most dinosaur names better than he can say "Sydney"...it seemed a shame not to go.

We got the cheap seats, but that still cost us over $100. Obviously many other families balked at the top ticket price of $74 since the lower bowl was practically empty (until the intermission when people moved down). Since the event was targeted for kids, it seems to me that it would make more sense to have lower ticket prices & fill more seats. Instead the arena was maybe a quarter full. Hmm....

Before the show, Jason was very serious in his waiting.
Brad & Sydney on the other hand...not so much.
You will note that Jason shared one of his dinosaur shirts with his sister for the event.

Waiting with bated breath

This shirt is huge on him, that is why I rolled the sleeves on him.
I wasn't going for the Miami Vice look.

A baby T-Rex came out first before it was joined by its VERY LOUD Mommy.
This was Jason's favourite part of the whole show.

To this day Sydney & Jason are still playing Walk with Dinosaurs...in costume & with the myriad of dinosaurs in our house.
