We were planning on going to Dinosaur World on the way to Disney tomorrow because we thought it was in the middle of the two. However, when we looked it was only 7 miles from where we are so we went there today. It is an outside park where you walk down paths that have lifesize dinosaurs on display with facts about each dinosaur. Timmy loved it. Here are all three kids at the entrance.

One of the first things you encounter is a head that the kids can stand in so it looks like the dinosaur ate you. Nathan decided he had a better idea for Joshua while Samantha was in the back of the dinosaur. Joshua kept yelling, “This not better!!”….

I took pictures of all of the dinosaurs but since they have over 150 on display I cannot put them all up so I am just putting the favorites up. One of Timmy’s favorites is the stegasaurus…

They are in the middle of decorating for Halloween. They apparently have a haunted forest type of event and from what we could see of what they already have up it will be very frightening. We came across this cage and Nathan decided to put the kids in…

This is a picture of an adult and a baby but I don’t remember what kind of dinosaur it was….

This is a Tyrannasaurus Rex. I loved how it shows the size difference between us and the dinosaur. I definitely would not want to see one alive…

These are two pictures of the kids posing with dinosaurs… again I don’t remember what kind. :)

Part of our entrance fee included a fossil dig for the kids. They got to sift through the sand and pick out 3 real fossils each to keep. Here is Timmy and Samantha digging.

The last thing we did was a boneyard where they get to dig and brush to unearth a skeleton. This is all three kids trying to unearth a section of a stegasaurus skeleton.

W ended the day with a LOT of laundry and one last trip to the pool. Although the washers and dryers are not cheap here in comparison with a lot of the places we have been they are cheaper than the ones at Disney so we decided to get all of the laundry caught up before leaving, especially since we had all of the towels dirty between pool time and showers. I have decided that at Disney we will each have ONE towel for pool use that will be hung up to dry after use so we don’t have to continually wash them. Tomorrow we will leave early. Nathan is going to have his beard braided early tomorrow. We found someone who said she can weave extensions into it so we will have it done before going to Disney. This should make for some interesting pictures before Halloween. :)
