Jurassic Friday

TERRIBLE LIZARDS: Today's recap is going to be brief, because it's getting late and I'm sick and tired.

We went to West Seattle this morning, where both of the kids are now in the computer programming class using MIT's Scratch as the platform/language.

We did some math and some reading, of course. But most of today's excitement surrounded going to see the re-release of Jurassic Park. I can't believe it's been 20 years since that movie premiered. Time flies. 

We went to see it on the biggest IMAX screen in town, at Pacific Science Center. We were a little

early, so we had a few minutes to cruise through PSC. We pretty much stuck to the dino exhibit, given the theme of the day.

Above, Annabelle reads up an apatosaurus. 

We checked out the animatronic triceratops. It looked like he was checking us out, too, with his glassy eyes.

The kids feigned fear in front of an allosaurus, a strange lizard indeed.

This guy looked like he was smiling at us (and every other PSC visitor).

The kids have seen all these displays dozens of times by now, but they still find them interesting.

The main attraction was the movie. It has held up well. Super suspenseful, and CJ declared it the scariest movie he's ever seen. Annabelle spent a good part of the show with her face buried in my shoulder. 

Tomorrow we're heading back to PSC for Paws on Science weekend. Can't wait!

And now, I'm hitting the hay and dreaming that the stolen car is returned to us.
