May 23-28, 2008---Saturday morning we were bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and raring to go so we had a nice breakfast at Cracker Barrel waiting for Dinosaur World to open. Dinosaur World is a chain establishment with locations in Kentucky, Florida, and Texas. Jackson was sooooo excited!!! Anyone who knows Jack Jack knows he LOVES dinosaurs!!! He was so anxious he couldn't even eat his favorite breakfast, pancakes and chocolate milk. We arrived at 9 a.m. Of course, they have it set up so that you must walk through the gift shop to get to the dinosaurs. Jackson thought he had died and gone to heaven. It was a store filled with anything and everything you could think of with a dinosaur on it. His arms were filled to the brim with dinosaur stuff. We spent about 5-10 minutes trying to tell him that we would come back and get souvenirs after we saw the dinosaurs. He finally agreed, although somewhat hesitant. Then, off we went on our 2.5 mile journey through Dinosaur World where we encountered over 100 life size dinosaurs. He kept commenting on how huge the dinosaurs were. He was so excited!! He would lose his breath from trying to talk so fast. It was the biggest event of his little life so far (at least to him).
Jackson pretending the T-Rex was chasing him (so funny):
Once we finished our hike Anna Catherine and Jackson participated in a fossil dig. Anna Catherine and Chloe played on the playground and went to the museum while Jackson went into the movie cave where he watched the same 14 minute movie three times (it was on a continuous loop). We had to make him leave by telling him it was time to go back to the gift shop. He cried. Poor fella...he LOVES dinos so much. He racked up on lots of dino gear--a rolling suitcase, backpack, toy, and puzzle.
If you have a child or know someone who has a child obsessed with dinosaurs, check out their website. It was a fun place and was the sole purpose of our vacation to Cave City, Kentucky.
