We met up with Nathaniel, Josiah, Quinn, and Jonas and all the boys were jazzed. They really enjoyed watching the animals, of course, but I think they also enjoyed climbing and just being little monkeys themselves.
The new dinosaur exhibit was great. They had life-like dinosaur robots that moved. This just entranced Evan. He could have stayed there all day! They even had a spitting dinosaur that shot water out at everyone. It scared both of my boys a little, but both of them thought it was their favorite part of the day.
After lunch, we decided to check out the Dino-4D movie. We debated because some people said was a little scary, but they boys really wanted to see it, so we headed in to the little dark trailer where it was being shown. It was filled with other elementary aged kids. Now, remember that 4D is the kind of movie where the seats shake with you as 3D dinos pop out of the screen at you. So, the minute the movie started with a boom, the elementary girls started to scream and the toddlers just lost it. We took them all out sobbing a few minutes in. Oh well, guess we better wait a few years to try that again. Fortunately, a carousel ride and some ice cream fixed everything.
It was such a great day with great friends. I know we will all stay close even though we may not live in the same city anymore!

So wonderful to have good friends. Be sure not to lose track of them. It's easy to do when life gets busy. Love, Mommie Dearest
