Walking with the Dinosaurs

Well, tonight we got to go to an awesome production of "Walking with the Dinosaurs" at the Gwinnett Arena. It was AWESOME!!! The dinosaurs looked so lifelike...the way they moved and the roars they made. There was a narrator that explained about the different eras and how it affected the dinos. I was originally worried that Bradley would be scared by the size of the dinos, but Rachel was more scared than he was. She has such a creative imagination that it works overtime sometimes, and she had psyched herself out about the dinos. But, once she saw them and realized that the small ones were actually moving because there were people inside them and the large ones had a person in a car-like contraption underneath them, she wasn't scared at all. Bradley loved it too, only he didn't like the loud roars that the dinos would emit every once in awhile. The whole show was so cool, so exciting, so well-done, that it didn't even feel like it was as long as it was...about an hour and a half with an intermission. Of course, Trent was a precious angel, as always, and didn't make a peep. He enjoyed his paci and snoozed in my lap...what an easy-going baby! We had such a good time and I'm so glad we got to go! We don't frequent Gwinnett too often and noticed that we were the minority at the arena. On the way home, we were driving down Sugarloaf Parkway and Rachel said, "Mommy, I saw a Genie!!!" She was so excited and Nick and I just chuckled and agreed with her even though what she had actually seen was an Arab man with a huge turban on his head walking on the sidewalk. I thought that was hilarious...but definitely a sign of the diversity of Gwinnett county!
