Dino Mountain at the Wild Animal Park

Every few years a traveling animatronic dinosaur show comes to the Wild Animal Park. This year featured more baby dinosaurs. We liked the last set of dinosaurs that came a few years ago because they showed dinos eating dinos . . . it was more realistic :-).

Amara brought her friend, Lea, along.

Aleya loved all the baby dinosaurs hatching out of their eggs. They made cute squeaking noises.

The boys enjoyed this dinosaur again . . . the spitter. I can't remember the name. I assume in prehistoric times it spit some sort of acidic toxin on its prey to blind them, or something.



The kids always love the T-rex. Aaron (Orrin's friend) was thinking about going back to get sprayed by the spitting dinosaur, again.

This year they had a whole family of T-rex dinosaurs.

This Pteradon is defending its nest against scavangers.

After seeing all the dinosaurs, we found a really cool nature trail at the North end of the park.

The trail took you through desert terrain as well as through some mountain water ecosystems. We had never been to this part of the park and had a nice time exploring and eating some snacks while enjoying the views.
