Birthday Getaway

Damien took off work a few days during the week and since PawPaw and Nana took Dylan to Dinosaur World last year, he's been dying to go back.  We didn't tell him that we were taking him until that morning, so he was super excited.  However, he calls it Dinosaur Land...even when you say it's Dinosaur World. He says I know, I like to call it Dinosaur Land.  It's a big park with life size dinosaurs with little plaques that tell you about each one.  Well Dylan would run from one dinosaur to the next.  We would have to call him back and tell him what kind it was and start to read the plaque and he'd be off again.  He was non stop. We went through that thing so fast. 

We made it back in time for the dinosaur fossil dig.  We sat and waited for someone to come open the gate for it but no one. I finally went to the building to ask someone and they were very apologetic and gave Dylan 2 dinosaurs.  In fairness to them, they had a big school field trip that just left and the park was empty for the most part, so they probably had no idea we were there.

After Dinosaur World, we headed over to Kentucky Down Under.  We heard their tickets were 2 day passes.  We thought, we could do half that day and the rest the following day.  I heard reviews from friends that it was really cool.  I found some of the things really fun but some things were just kind of blah. I loved petting the kangaroos and feeding the birds (the first time we fed them they scared Dylan since they flocked to him, but the second time he didn't get scared).

and Natalie was a little scared too

 

He's really alive. I promise.

Mommy and her Joey - found out some interesting things about kangaroos and how they make different kinds of milk. 

We did a snake show. Dylan loved the python that he saw. It's his favorite snake

 I think one of  Dylan's favorite part was the cave.  He thought it was creepy but cool.  His exact words.

 He also enjoyed feeding the smaller, less aggressive birds.

 We did a barn show and they just had some baby sheeps born the week before. After the field trip left the show, we got to pick up a sheep and pet it. Natalie loved it.
