Dinosaur Camp, Day 2...

I never would have guessed that Dinosaur Camp would be this enthralling!  Ian couldn't even fall asleep last night, the anticipation of dinosaur eggs was so great...

Sure enough, early this morning these guys made their way to the sandbox and buried their eggs:

We started out our day with more dinosaur toast and some dinosaur (ahem... Jell-O) eggs:

Our morning was rounded out by more dinosaur worksheets, drawing dinosaurs, on-line dinosaur information, dinosaur books, dinosaur sponge painting, and... yes... more Dinosaur Train, to fill every transition.  The sponge painting was a definite favorite:

What they really wanted, though, was to find those eggs!  Of course, I covered the sandbox, and the kids had to search for both the dinosaur parents and offspring.  Dinosaurs probably didn't lay their eggs in sand, but... ya know... other creatures do.  They were absolutely thrilled that their dinosaurs had laid nine eggs, and they went to work, carefully... like Paleontologists... to uncover the baby dinosaurs inside.  I had to laugh (just a little), because Caleb got so into this he actually forgot we were working with plastic dinosaurs here.  At one point, he exclaimed, "Mom!  This one's tail is part way out!  It must have already been struggling to hatch!"  Too much fun:   

 

Lunch consisted of Dinosaur Mac and Cheese.  We had some trouble distinguishing the shapes:

And then we polished off day 2 of Dinosaur Camp with a couple of episodes of "Dinosaur Dan".  They loved this and were thoroughly amazed by the combination of live action and animation.  I probably need to find more episodes...
