With David John ready to start kindergarten (stay tuned for a new post on this topic soon), we wanted to take some time to visit the St. Louis Zoo and enjoy the special "dinosaur" exhibit they've included. So Friday morning we did just that!
The exhibit included sixteen robotic dinosaurs designed "to scale". Each one had a small placard telling about that particular dinosaur and where its fossilized remains have been found, but the real fun was watching the automaton's move about.
We've observed that Emily like animals - from a distance. And knew, from experience with David's dinosaur toys, that Emily really prefers dinosaurs - from an even greater distance. Consequently, David was really excited to see the main exhibit, and Emily was really excited to sit with Mommy outside of the exhibit when Daddy and David went back through to read about some of the dinosaurs
But Emily did enjoy the rest of the zoo. We have picture here of David and Emily climbing on a giant beetle statue outside of the insectarium. I am happy to report that my children find the bug display less traumatic than did their father when he was young.
