More Dinosaur Land (2)

Picking up where I left off on our trip to Dinosaur Land.
 The Mesozoic era - Where dinosaurs were the only creatures that roamed the earth.
There are over 50 dinosaurs on display in the park.






Adalyn is particularly taken with the one with the tusks.




Looking to get bit I see

Oh yes, King Kong was here.

They were a little scared to sit with King Kong for me to take a picture.  The wanted Opa to go with them and sit there with them and of course,  go first.  It was some work but it was done.  They got their picture taken.  Good sport Opa.  Little cramped.

Opa first and then the girls.   Genevieve doesn't look too thrilled but she got there.


King Kong has an airplane in his other hand


Both girls fascinated by these two in battle.  Genevieve a little more so.  Adalyn moved on to something else.


Genevieve quick to point out the battle scar and runs with it.




Adalyn with Cobra



Kids ran into Jaws while visiting.  They weren't scared.  I didn't like it but they did.


I am not sure who's arm this is.



They wanted to have their picture taken with him.  Genevieve reluctantly but Adalyn was good with it.

A look back to Dinosaur Land (1)

End of August 2017.   About 9 months ago Steve and I took Adalyn and Genevieve to see Dinosaur land in White Post Virginia.   In the Shenandoah valley is this little gem.  It's been here 50 years.  I never really new about it until we were researching places to take the grand girls and knowing they love dinosaurs this seemed perfect and not so far to drive either.
They loved it.  All sorts of dinosaurs with a plaque describing them. We heard ooh's and aah's as we saw the sign here to stop
First through the gift shop to pay our way and then the little walk out into this park.

Genevieve had Opa and Adalyn go first.  Smart girl.



A little clip of the beginning of tour

Whoo hoo is what we hear.  Good to run some of that energy off that was saved riding in the car.  We do take frequent stops but this was great, a giant play yard for those two.

  It's a little history tour as we read the information to them about the different dinosaurs.  She is not sure of this thing.

Spinosaurus.  


Taken right before she falls down the small slope.

Large Grasshopper?

They were in awe of this one.

Adalyn had to stop to collect rocks.  She also looks like she is way to close under the foot of this one.

Adalyn informed me that she wished she could have one of these for a pet.





On to the next one.

Will share more tomorrow.
