We took our first of twenty-two summer trips to the Ogden-Eccles Dinosaur Park on Friday. Andrew loves the place, but is completely terrified of the animatronic (moving, roaring and life-like) dinosaurs they have on display upstairs at the museum. Before we set foot through the doors of the museum, he has to have been reassured multiple times that I am not, under any circumstances going to take him upstairs. Poor kid must've had terrible nightmares after the one time he saw the horrific scene which he can recall in great detail:"Mommy, member upstairs where the mommy stegosaurus is tecting (protecting) her babies from the mean daddy T-Rex?"
"Yes, I remember son, but they are just machines."
"Yeah, they're just shines, but I not like that part mom."
"Okay son."
"Please don't take me upstairs to that part mom."
"Okay, we won't go up there."
"Yeah, cause I not like it."
And on and on...
Anyway, Andrew had been asking to go, (but not upstairs), so we went after daddy got home from work on Friday night, hoping the heat would be a little more bearable that way. It was still pretty hot, but it was fun, and like I always say, looking at plastic models of long dead animals never gets old. After the dinosaur park, we went out to dinner at The Oaks, a place next to the river up Ogden Canyon that doesn't have the greatest food, but the best views ever and lots of ice cream choices for dessert. YUM!
