Back after 65,000,000 years....

I fulfilled the wish of the child in me and went to see Walking with Dinosaurs at the Belgrade Arena. It was everything I thought it would be, and more. They walk, they roar, they 'breathe,' accompanied by sound/video effects; all so real. Read about it on the link above, and if they come to your town, do yourself a favor and go....it's for kids of all ages.

Here you see a pair of towering brachiosaurus (brachiosauri!). The very idea of transporting these babies is overwhelming. There were quite a few very large trucks in the Arena's parking lot.

Looks like a good turnout too. I bet you'll have a great time talking to your kiddos at school about it. The photo is excellent which I imagine was hard to do.

I wish there was something like this when I was a kid. I used to be a dinosauer freak. Even now it sounds fun.

It looks almost realistic enough that I would be scared! :)
