Me and my boo boo!! A much deserved break
The boys are ready!!
Dinosaur action!!
My monkey has been so engrossed in all of his coursework (more on that later)... that I decided to reward him with a little treat over the weekend to see Jurassic World Live Tour. So dedicated was I to the cause that I even agreed to schlep all the way to (gasp) Newark!!! On a SUNDAY night no less!! There must be trophies for this sort of thing no? :)
Jokes aside, it was certainly fun times. The story is a familiar one... the need to preserve and respect wild life (albeit very extinct ones) whilst also warding off those who want to harness special powers for evil. My favorites were the velociraptors who truly came to life (hint: there were real humans underneath!). Another family I went with observed that they had initially thought those dinosaurs would be animatronics, but apparently not! Oddly enough, I actually prefer the real thing if you know what I mean. Lends an air of authenticity to the whole experience, even if it was just an actor in costume at the end of the day.
I took some videos so you can judge for yourself. Part of me wishes that I could have taken our little guy with us, as he would have been even more “wowed” by all the action, but alas the show was a bit too late at night to have taken my three year old... especially on a Sunday night all the way to New Jersey! Next time — let’s aim to stay a little bit closer to home (maybe even, dare I say it, a date night??!). Makes me realize how nice it is to introduce our children to these unique experiences, be it dinosaur explorations at the museum or musical theater to unleash our inner creativity. They are all equally important! See below for some related posts in the past, and you can find more under Theater family experiences and Museum outings.
