Walking With Dinosaurs

I was surfing the web looking for things to do a few weeks ago and ended up looking on ticketmaster.com for some ideas. Well, they had a few things listed for the Tucson area, 2 of which were Walking With Dinosaurs and Monster Jams. Well, we went to Walking With Dinosaurs tonight and bought tickets for Monster Jams for the 6th of March. That will be one of Jackson's birthday gifts!

We have been waiting for the day to come and here it is! I think I was more excited then Jeff and Jackson, but I think I was more excited to see Jackson's reaction. He's seen the commercial for WWD and thought it was the coolest thing and insisted that we go right then. I had to keep reminding him that the dinosaurs had to travel here and it would take some time. You can't really explain to a 2 almost 3 year old that it takes time for things. You can, but they really don't get it, but I tried and for the most part and I think he understood!

So the day has/had come and we did a semi normal routine today. We headed to the zoo/golf course trails and went for a nice long walk followed up with feeding the ducks. Then Jackson decided that listening wasn't a rule and he didn't have to do what we told him. Well, that got him in trouble and put straight in his car seat and we headed home.

So we came home and tried to get him to eat lunch and that didn't happen, did I mention kids his age are just down right naughty at times? Well, that's a whole blog in itself! So he went down for a nonsleeping nap that he does these days and ended up just playing, but he stayed there for a while! (I am telling you this because it is leading up to the picture below!)

So, long story shortened! It was about 30 minutes before we wanted to leave and this is what happened do to our long day of playing and no nap!

I just have to tell you, if you get a chance to see this show we recommend it! It was an hour and a half long and just right for Jackson's age. He loved it and wanted to see more. We thought he would have gotten scarred or Jeff and I even joked that he would think dinosaurs are real after seeing it, but he hasn't said anything. We sat on the floor and splurged on the tickets, but we wanted to be close! I do have to say that these dinosaurs were pretty realistic and it was just awesome! We really enjoyed it and would see it again! They went through all the stages of the dinosaurs and how they evolved with the earths ever changing environment. Very informative and funny!

I am going to just put pictures this time and no comments!

Sorry some are so blurry! No flash photography!

It was so funny when the T-rex was growling at these little guys, He yelled " kick his butt!" There were a few people in our section that laughed! He is so funny. Jeff and I have no clue where that came from!

We ended the night with dinner at Claim Jumpers!

Today was a really good family day!
