Dinosaur scaring Dinosaur

Jurassic Park

I had bought tickets for the Fields Station: Dinosaurs exhibit in Secaucus, NJ from LivingSocial. It was a little less than half price and couldn't pass up on it. Tickets are normally $25! We knew they had life size animatronic dinosaurs, but wasn't sure what to expect. It's located off exit 15X off the turnpike ($7.55 one way toll insane!). You can see parts of it from the highway, but its tucked in a park covered by trees. We had Dylan dressed the part.

We took to the trail and at first Dylan was scared to come close to any of the dinosaurs. Dylan had brought one his toy dinosaurs and Tyler told him to use it to scare off the others by roaring at them. It seemed to work because he was able to get up close and "scare" them lol Here are some of the dinosaurs. The rst of the pictures are on Facebook.

It was a great morning. They had shows, dig sites for the kids, a 3D movie, etc. we'll definitely be going back! Hopefully there is another deal again.

Memorized

Dylan's favorite movie (for now) is Disney's Pixar Wall-E.  He watches it at least once a day if not twice.  It's a great movie and not much speaking in it. Dylan has gotten to the point where he memorizes parts of the movie and we were amazed how he acted out the part without having to look at the movie and it on point with the movie!! I decided to take a video of him acting out the part.  He does look at the movie for a few seconds but as you can see he was acting out the part already when he looked at the movie. 

He has done this with other movies, but this was the best! He picks up on these movies so quickly and can tell you what happenes before it happens.  Can't wait to see how he reacts when he sees some of these characters in person. 

32 and 4

I turned 32 on the 12th. Just another day and another year older. I wasn't planning on taking the day off from work but I did because I got picked to serve on a jury that would fall on our anniversary. We had planned to go to sesame place that day. Oh well. It was a gloomy cooler day so no sesame place but instead the adventure aquarium.

It was a great day. I was supposed to play some softball that evening, but that got canceled as well with the lovely down pour. The nice dinner was the day before because of my game. So instead we had some pizza :-) here are some pictures from the day.

The next Friday was our anniversary and I had the last day of jury duty. If you want to know what happened you can ask but I'm not posting about it. After the trial was done and I got home we went out to Oliver Garden for dinner. We had a gift card and its one of Ty's favorites. Come to find out the wife of a friend of mine from softball is the manager there and she took care of the bill!! Very thankful and appreciative. Nice night out with my boys.

Bella's 6th

Today was a discombobulated day. We were invited to yet again 2 family bday parties (opposite sides this time) in opposite directions plus I was supposed to have my playoff softball game. Well we went to Bella's party because they invited us first and we ended up going earlier because I had to leave early enough for my game. 1/3 of the way home from the party and I get a call saying the game was canceled. Go figure! Here's some highlights of the party.

Dylan did great in the pool as did everyone else.

Infinity and Beyond

Look what came in the mail yesterday!!

I'm beyond excited and it's less than 2 month away!! Plus I get to use this what Ty got for me for our anniversary.

Yup I'm going to try & look for all 1000+ hidden mickeys in all the parks!! Yes I'm a Disney nerd and I don't care what anyone says :-)

Whispers

Not sure what they were saying

Big Boy Bed

We took the front of the crib off (again) and converted his crib to a toddler bed. For new bedding set to help the transition.

Avon, Dani and Vic

The weekend of July 4 was back with Estlers and Forchechettes. Friday night I did not have softball so off we went to Avon for the first weekend of the Ragtimers. It was packed but got very cold!!

The next day we had a BBQ at the Estlers and the following day at our house.

It was a good nice, but quick weekend. Next visit will be Cape May.

Normal Behavior

This seems to be normal behavior for Dylan throughout the day. Random craziness!

He had been doing this for a good minute before I started recording. 

Little Success Bubbles

Everyone tried to blow bubbles for Dylan with much difficulty. 

Flights in video

Some videos of the planes from the air show

Trampoline Jump

Puddle Jump

Booked!!

We are leaving for Disney on Sept 19 and returning Sept 25! Cannot wait! We are flying down. Going now while Dylan is free plus we get the dining plan for free! Win win! September is going to be a busy month for us.

Way to Cool off

This is what I bought Thursday. He was hesitant to get in but had fun with daddy & joined mommy today until he slipped on his own & went under water. Still gonna keep at it.

2013 Ragtimers

Last night we went to Avon for the Ragtimers first performance of the summer. The boardwalk was completed, tents up for the pavilion and restaurant and a trailer for the snack bar and bathrooms. Looked pretty good with the plans of rebuilding the buildings in the works. Got to see Dani, Vic and Kyle for the first time since Christmas.
