Jurassic Tour

Our 3rd wedding anniversary was August 11, and we decided the best way to celebrate was to take our little girl to a dinosaur exhibit. Clara LOVES dinos. We love to see her happy and smile. I was a little concerned that they might be too realistic and scary looking, but she's got her mommy's DNA, and loves dinosaurs just like I did. 

When we got there the building was dark. The only light coming into the Nampa, Idaho Ford Center was from the daylight outside the open doors, and as we made our way in, it was lit by dark colored lights. She could barely contain herself when she spotted the first dinosaur. And within a few seconds she saw the T-Rex. She went running right for it and squared off with it! She squawked at it and roared. It was hilarious and so brave.

​She ran all over, so excited and wanting to see every dinosaur as fast as she could. Waving her hands for us to follow her, pointing up at each dino. To say she loved the Jurassic Tour is an understatement. We stayed for hours, just walking around, back and forth to each dinosaur on display. We stayed until she could barely keep her eyes open. It was so much fun for her, which made it fun for us.

​There was a triceratops ride, but she only wanted to pet it, not ride it The man working the rides area was really kind. She was too intimidated to ride and we had bought tickets for her. So instead of her riding, he let her come back as often as she liked to pet the Triceratops. We gifted two tickets to a family entering the building when we left.

​A "dino band" played near the sand boxes for excavating bones, and a bounce runway. Once she saw the dino band there was no going anywhere for a long time. She kept her face through the fence to watch them play, and danced around. This girl loves music and dancing. If she hears music it'll stop her in her tracks and she will break out dancing.

​We took her to buy something from the gift area. She picked out a Triceratops push toy, and walked her new baby around to see all the dinosaurs. She spent a lot of time showing her baby triceratops to the big triceratops on display. It was darling.

We'll probably take her again next year. As long as the magic is there for her, we will encourage it, because that's one of the best parts of being a kid and a parent is to take moments to appreciate imagination, play, and magic.

I am a huge fan of dinosaurs. Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved the idea of having plastic dinosaur toys. Even today, I still collect dinosaur related toys, I keep a lot of them in my room. People think that I am silly and childish because of this, but that is not true, I am still able to have fun because of them. If something makes you happy, then isn't that enough of a reason to keep doing it?

I love your comment so much! Thanks for sharing. I don't think I'll ever lose the awe I have for dinosaurs. I hope my little one will continue to love them as well. I made my daughter a dino garden last summer ( I think I posted it her eon the blog). I use dlittle dino toys and then took macro shots of the dinos in the garden. It was so fun for me. I love how the pics turned out, and made me tap into the little kid within. LIfe is full of challenges and tough times, so keep the things you love and that bring you joy close.
