Roar if you love Dinos!

Z is my little four-year-old boy with light blue eyes and dark brown hair and an insane love of dinosaurs. He sleeps, breathes, and eats dinos. So imagine our excitement when my friend told us about the new dino exhibit at our local zoo where dinosaurs come back to roam the earth - well at least until Labor Day.

Z couldn't wait to see his "best-friend T-Rex"

The big day arrived and as soon as we set foot into exhibit Mimi started to cry. Then Z yelled "I want to go home! Now!" and planted himself in the ground, I couldn't even get him to budge. Both kids hated the dinosaurs!

Being the good parents that we are we went through the exhibit anyway hoping that he would eventually like them (and that we didn't just waste a whole lot of money that could have went toward something way more enjoyable).  We kept reassuring them both that they we not real and eventually Mimi warmed up and started waving to them, but Z would go no where near them.

We were able to get him and Mimi to sit on a replica in the zoo store so I did at least get one picture. Here it is:

And then we enjoyed the rest of the zoo with the non-scary more-likely-to-eat-you animals.
