Dinosaurs

Nana J and Boompa sent the kids a special care package. They had gone on a holiday up north and they visited a Dinosaur place. They then sent the kids some presents.

Alexander was excited about his dinosaur egg and couldn't wait to see what would hatch from it.

Eliza and Daniel both enjoyed making their dinosaur skeletons.

Although Eliza was upset that her dinosaur didn't actually do anything, compared to Alexander's one which hatched from the egg.

Alexander loved watching his dinosaur hatch from the egg. He was excited to come out and check on it each day. Once it was fully grown he was so excited to see it, but was surprised when he touched it that it felt slimy.

'Its tongue is poking out'

Ewww. It felt slimy

Funny

Our dinosaur experience continued with an adventure to Scenic World. It had been transformed to Dinosaur Valley. We were looking forward to seeing some dinosaurs.

It has been a crazy busy time lately at home with James being very busy with work, carols, church things, preschool things, lots of stuff. It had meant many nights out, many crazy busy days and nights so it was nice to have a day out with out little family.

I do love this guy

We headed down the scenic railway - always fun.

We then quickly walked through the rainforest to the Miner's Hut. There there was a chance to meet a baby dinosaur. So cool to be able to pat a baby triceratops. It was very cute! Alexander wasn't so sure about it though. He didn't want to pat it but was happy waving at it.

We then enjoyed returning to the top of the rainforest walk and completed the Junior Ranger booklet. The kids all liked the interactive stations.

They got to chat with a dinosaur how they thought they'd sound.

Eliza was excited to see some pteranodons. She hoped we would see some.

She also loved going on Daddy's shoulders.

The different dinosaurs were cool to see.

These 2 kiddies like to butt heads at the moment just like these dinosaurs.

Alexander liked seeing the Mummy dinosaur with her babies.

I loved seeing Eliza's hand just lightly resting on Alexander as they went up the Scenic Cableway.

The kids loved watching the ground move under them again on the Scenicway. It was cool to see Katoomba Falls flowing a lot.

We then decided to go on the Scenic Railway one last time. We were fortunate to go at the very front of it so the kids enjoyed writing their names and drawing themselves on the board while we waited.

We were front row on the way down. Much more intense than front row on the way back up.

Once back up the top the kids got their ranger cards stamped and Alexander had a stamp on his hand. Not the best idea because it ended up all over his face. Cutie!

What fun Dinosaur adventures!
