Dinosaur Show

A really neat dinosaur show came to a nearby venue this week, and we decided to take Ethan because he's recently developed an interest in dinosaurs. His favorite is the triceratops. The event was described as "edutainment" in a local newspaper article because it is narrated by an actor portraying a paleontologist (who provides facts and information about dinosaurs throughout the show) while 15 life-sized dinosaurs roam the floor. Some are robotic and others are really elaborate costumes. The show was very well done, and Ethan was thrilled to watch and learn about the various types of dinosaurs. Some kids in the audience were scared of them, but Ethan wasn't intimidated at all, even when they roared really loudly.

During the intermission we tried to get a couple of photos of us with Ethan. He was in no way interested in smiling for the camera though, as he wanted to keep his eyes on the floor for when the show began again.
