Dinosaur World for Michael's Birthday!

It is Michael's Birthday!

To celebrate this joyous occasion Beka planned a fun filled day at Dinosaur world (yes there is such a thing)! It is about two hours away in Kentucky. It is a small park that is devoted to all things dinosaur! Michael loves the dinos, and now that he has a son to share that love with, it is a family affair. Plus, his Dad and Mom were able to come too!

Emery was up bright and early to celebrate his dad. He wore his finest dino outfit in anticipation of the day!


Michael wore his dino shirt too (it just happens to say Emery :). Even though it was a late night with a baby, Michael was SO excited to head out the door!




When we picked up Michael's parents (Nana and Pappy), they brought a stuffed dinosaur for Emery.


We are all ready to go!



It was a long and beautiful drive up North. We were so excited when we hit the state line!


Once there, it was not long before we looked out the window and saw this:



We are here! We are at dinosaur world!!!!!




Dad and son are SO excited!!!!


Everything was themed out. This is the trash can. 


Hooray for dino world!


Team Oakley cannot wait!


We paid, got our bands, and we are ready to experience the fun!


Inside was a whole dream of dinos; everything was so fun!



Yes, even the bathrooms were themed out. 



There was a fun playground for the munchkins. 



There was a movie theatre playing a BBC special about the life of a dinosaur. 


The movie was enthralling to Emery. 


Next we walked down a dino nature trail where there were statues and information on different dinosaurs. 



We all had lots of fun :)







It was a beautiful day, and we were able to enjoy the sunshine (and some love). 




We got to the top of the nature trail, and went into Mammoth Garden. 





Then we were able to take a photo by the HUGE dino on the side of the freeway. 





The walk was wonderful. Every single one of is thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. 


Next we went into the Museum. 


The fossil dig was closed :( 


But luckily the boneyard was open! Michael and his dad got their dig on!



Emery watched in amazement...can't you tell :)


On the way out there was a big dino mouth that you could take a photo by...we took full advantage of the opportunity 








The day could not have been any better. It was a great adventure, and we will always remember the day of the dinosaurs.

Thanks for sharing it with us!!!

Love,
Team Oakley
