We got a treat today. My wife happened upon a post detailing that there would be dinosaurs visiting our neighborhood. So, at the appropriate time, we packed ourselves into the car to brave the heat to see some dinosaurs. When we arrived at the park, they had giant bouncy houses set up for the kids to jump on, and there were a LOT of kids. They also had booths with cold treats and a dinosaur show, but we focused on the bouncy houses, while we waited for the dinosaurs to arrive.
When they finally did arrive, there were two of them; a T-Rex and a Velociraptor. They were people in costumes, but they were very realistic, and the kids believed they were seeing real dinosaurs. The coolest part was that they allowed the kids to touch, talk to, and interact with the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs for their part growled and hissed, nipped at wayward hands, whipped their tails around, and bulled with their heads to keep the crowds from pressing in too tightly. It was awesome! All of the kids were terrified when the T-Rex opened his mouth and roared...well, all but one. My son walked right up to him and pet him on the nose...completely fearless.
