Walking with Dinosaurs

It was really cool. all of the dinosaurs were life-sized. a few surprized me as to how huge they really were, like ankylosaurus. the smaller dinosaurs were basically costumes worn by people. the larger ones had little cars underneath with drivers and the feet were on gliding platforms (or something like that). there were also lots of blow-up plants around the arena floor. owen did pretty well. wasn't scared in the least, though he did spend most of the 90 minutes playing on his own and chatting with the man sitting in front of us. the cool thing about tonight is that it was a rehearsal. we got to choose where we sat so we put ourselved in our own row. that was very nice since we were dealing with a toddler who frequently needs wrangling. we were the first american audience to see the presentation, which apparently is from australia.

go here to see what we saw tonight: http://www.dinosaurlive.com/

i'm tired and have a pretty busy day tomorrow. driving up to seattle and back in the morning. then lessons in the afternoon. hopefully owen will sleep through tonight. i'm not counting on it, though, since we were out late and he was up late. he's asleep now, i believe. at least he's quiet...we'll take that.

updates:

he slept until 6:30, which is about the norm around here. woke up happy.

when you go to the site for the dinosaurs, click on video and watch both. one shows the people making the dinosaurs and practicing, the second is clips from the show itself.
