A couple of weekends ago, my mother-in-law was in town for a Saturday conference. So on that Sunday, we decided to take Dominic to the “Discover the Dinosaurs” interactive exhibit at the San Diego Convention Center after he saw the commercial on TV. The dinosaurs were quite large and vivid, and the kids could animate them by pushing buttons. Between the dinosaur exhibits were fun interactive parts, like The Really Big Dinosaur Dig, a scavenger hunt for prizes, and the inflatable park. While we were in line for the second inflatable park, he screamed as loud as he could, “Mama, this place is AWESOME and I’m having the best time EVER!” I guess that says it all, doesn’t it? If you want to take your kids to this awesome exhibit, they are still touring the US, and maybe you can catch it at a venue near you (calendar can be found here)!

Deon and Dominic nearly escaping an attack (sort of)!
Grandma getting ready to take some pictures (like the one below).
Dominic really enjoyed the Dino Dig (there were at least three sandboxes).
There were plenty of interesting things to read posted all over the exhibit. These tidbits and facts were also used in the scavenger hunt, where Dominic spun a wheel to win cute little prizes.
Dominic pushing buttons to make the Hypacrocsaurus (high-pack-crow-sore-us) move about. Some even made sounds!
Dominic’s favorite part: The Inflatable Parks. That blur was the best picture I could capture of our little dynamo!
Our souvenir picture. Pretty much sums up our fun and adventurous day!
