Walking With Dinosaurs

Over the last six months or so, Connor has really been interested in Dinosaurs. We have several books about Dinosaurs, Dinosaur toys, Dinosaur movies, and now his favorite show is Dinosaur Train. Connor loves dinosaurs and has even taken a few to daycare to share with his friends on share day. I am impressed that he knows quite a few of them by name. When we heard that Walking With Dinosaurs was coming to Portland we thought we would surprise Connor and take him.

Huxley, the Paleontologist, took us through a 200 million year journey describing the events and teaching us about several dinosaurs. We began in the Triassic period then moved on to the Jurassic period and finally ended in the Cretaceous period. We had a fun evening learning about dinosaurs.

Huxley reached in and found a dung beetle. Of course, one of the
highlights of the show for Connor and all the kids!
Thankfully, Huxley put the beetle back AND washed his hands!
