We had a few little mishaps as Seth and Grace left... like Miah's tears that almost could not be stopped because she will miss Grace so much and Ian's request to move into Seth's room while he is gone. However, Dinosuar Camp is a pretty big hit, so far, so they are coping...
On Day 1, we ate dinosaur toast for breakfast (and limes... long story... the limes are not going to be a new family favorite).
We did dinosaur worksheets, and learned about dinosaurs on the Internet, and drew dinosaur pictures, and read (very educational... ahem... OK, maybe not) dinosaur books:
Undoubtedly, the biggest attraction of the day was the dinosaur scavenger hunt, during which each of the kids was allowed to find two dinosaurs, and it didn't really matter in the end, because I set that rule up so that Miah would have a fighting chance, and she found her dinosaurs first, anyway. It's a good thing we did this in the morning, because the primordial grass has now been mowed:
I felt a little sorry for the dinosaurs:
It is our sincere hope that the dinosaurs will reproduce and hide eggs for us to find tomorrow:
Oh, come on... of course there are eggs... I made them myself:
We have watched more "Dinosaur Train" than I care to admit, and we even snuggled down to watch the Bob the Builder Dinosaur movie. Since I am amazingly creative, we ate more dinosaur shaped carbohydrates for lunch. No one seemed to mind.
I think we might survive a week without big siblings, after all...
