Going on a Dinosaur Walk

It is a rare moment when it is a holiday and Lance doesn't have to work or go to school. So we loaded up and headed to the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary in McKinney today. The Dinosaurs Alive exhibit is there through the end of January. All of the eight dinosaurs along the outside path were life-sized and would move and growl.



The Sweeney family being served as the dinosaur's lunch. As you walked through it's mouth and neck, you could see the realistic size of its internal organs.

Zachary getting his dinosaur growl on.


Zachary being so brave in front of the 46 foot tall T-Rex.



Madison didn't mind the dinosaurs that were about her size. . .



but she didn't mind having daddy carry her as the dinosaurs got bigger in size and sound.

Madison wasn't as afraid of the dinosaurs after she found her fighting stick, but daddy was very afraid of it.

Looks like a fun outing, and yes, very rare for Lance to actually be home on a holiday! Glad you were able to spend time as a family. I think my children would have freaked out about how big and realistic the dinosaurs are...maybe in a couple of years we'lll go. Hey THomas the Train is coming to Grapevine in March...we should look into that!
