Reunion Time! - Part 2 Prehistoric Gardens

So we made an unscheduled stop on our way down the Oregon coast to this tucked-away tourist attraction called Prehistoric Gardens.  As is usually the case, it was a really good idea.  What makes more since than life-size dinosaur replicas in a forest that was probably around when they were? 

The Captain did not want to pose with T-Rex in the parking lot.

In the washed out background is a brontosaurus.

This blurry picture is the only one of the
 triceratops, which is one of my favorites.

 We just wandered around the trails, following the map, spotting cool ancient beasts. 

 The kids were in heaven.

This one looks like the dinosaur was somehow
following us.  I assure you, it was not.
Still not sure how I took that one . . .

Ichthyosaurus, a personal The Captain favorite

"get the baby dinosaurs, Mom"

 Johnny was explaining how big the stegosaurus's brain is.

Even Lee enjoyed herself.

As you can see, it was pretty great.  It was an awesome introduction to the Redwoods.  More of those to come . . .
