Dino puppet show






I didn't get a chance to take pics of the dinosaurs but here is the backdrop, a theatre filled with straw and then the narrator introduced the plants of the dino era, giant asparagus like plants and moss that grew to tree size. The first dino that came out was a friendly anklyosaur, kids sat right at the edge of the performance area. The poor puppeteer was inside on all fours but it looked realistic enough that nate still thinks its real. The next baby dino's were brought out by two puppeteers with slings. After a few more, the finale was a huge big snorting one with sharp teeth, a smaller relative of the T-Rex, but it looked scary, This one we could see the legs of the puppeteer but still it was quite realistic esp. when it could interact with the audience, like coming over to try and eat the kids that stood up on their seats (nate...).

After the show, we went impromptu to the beach at the east coast. The boys running off into the ocean with the swimming trunks. Grace and I got nice big sugar cane juice.
