Week #7 Ice Age Dinosaur Week













This week we studied dinosaurs from the Ice Age. We had a few big outtings and some carryover from the previous week. We visited the Museum of Science to see some dinosaurs last week (but also stars). Still I thought I'd include some shots of mommy and the kids with the dinosaurs as well as daddy with the kids and the dinosaur skeleton. Monday the kids enjoyed their favorite part of the week a new dinosaur set that they set up and played with all week! Tuesday we set up our igloo tent that they used for a dinosaur cave most of the week and we enjoyed "ice cream" on our back porch. Wednesday the kids got to go see our one free movie of the summer "Monsters v. Aliens". I told Vivi it was kind of combo of the previous week (aliens from outerspace) and this week (monsters kind of like dinosaurs). She bought it and enjoyed it okay. We also had another big event this week happen on Wednesday. Look for a blog post on this soon! Thursday we headed to my sister's and painted dinosaurs with our cousin Chloe. Friday we watched "Dawn of the Dinosaurs" from the Ice Age series and enjoyed some snow cones as a family. Saturday was our big outting. We traveled a little ways to the Dinosaur Valley State Park to find dino tracks. They had two large dinosaur statues and we did actually see some tracks. The best part was allowing the kids to sit in a little river and Nick and I to stand in it and get cooled off. That night we enjoyed our time at home. Sunday afternoon we headed to a company party for daddy where the kids got to play unlimited video games and try their hand at bowling. They had a blast!
