Dino Day

Our good friend Sarah and her two boys Simon (5) and Griffin (2) invited us over for Dino Day. Karen, Gabe (5) and Gavin (4)also were invited. We were all in the same MOPS group last year.  Dino day started with some playing at the park.

Yes, William was hugging the basketball goal. He loves basketball that much!  But it was windy and chilly so we headed to Sarah’s house to finish the fun.

 

Simon had made dinosaur eggs early in the week. The kids cracked them open to discover which kind of dinosaur was inside each egg. Sarah was amazing she new all the names and facts. Madeline was a very serious paleontologist.

Simon had created a volcano and waited to set it off with all of us there. I have never seen children more eager. They were are so excited. I think Sarah made the volcano go off at least 3 times! Simon even created the lego dinosaurs from the directions on the internet.

Simon was soooo excited. I love this picture. I didn’t get a picture of the fossil making with play dough or the fun lunch of dinosaur chicken nuggets, prehistoric trees (broccoli) and yummy strawberries. It sure was a fun day. Will loved playing with Griff and just walking around checking out all the fabulous boy toys. After lunch the kids played pirates and knights fighting a dragon. A little different then the girl play dates we usually have but Madeline loved it!
