Dinosaurs Go "Roar"

I can some up this blog with "long lines, tired kids and tired mommies", but that wouldn't make for good reading, so here it goes.

Today was a beautiful day! Sean and I left the house earlier then usual to bring Kenny something to his office that he had forgotten and then we headed to our friends' house, Kimberly and Mason to ride with them to the zoo. Sean was so excited to see Mason that he had been talking about it all last night. Mason's 2 cousins joined us and let Sean listen to their MP3 player in the car. It was so cute! He loves music and had the little earpiece in his ear. On the way there, the boys pointed out all of the "big trucks" that they saw on the road.

When, I planned this, I didn't know that a movie was being filmed at the zoo and I forgot that it was spring break. It seemed like every child under 12 was at the zoo. We waited in long lines for admission and for lunch which made everyone grumpy. However, once we got to the Dinosaur exhibit, Sean was in seventh heaven. He loves them! He was one for Halloween and walks around the house saying, "roar". He went up to the dinosaurs and "roared" back at them and smiled to them. At the gift shop, he picked out a stuffed dinosaur to sleep with. He also loved the sea lions and alligators.

I also think he has a crush on Kimberly, Mason's mommy. He wouldn't hold my hand, only hers and kept asking, "where's Miss Kimberee?" over and over. It was so sweet!

We didn't get home until 4:30 which meant no nap and we had been gone all day. Sean was exhausted and fell asleep at 7pm tonight. I only hope that he sleeps through the night. I'm sure tomorrow, we'll be talking about the dinosaurs and "roaring" all day long!
