A Tale of Two Kids
A quick introduction for those stray non-family members that might find this blog. I'm a working mom with two kids, Jordan who is five and Kaitlyn (aka Katie) who is three. My children are the only set of grandchildren for three sets of grandparents and also have four dotting uncles. Can we say spoiled!! Despite my best efforts, the kids have actually turned out to be great kids and an endless source of amusement.

Dinosaurs At Storeyum

Scott and I decided to be brave and take the kids downtown to see the Dinosaurs at Storeyum. We drove to the King George Skytrain station and took the Skytrain end to end. Jordan loved being on the Skytrain and spent most of the time looking out at the back window. Katie was amused by looking out the window for about half the trip. (Doesn't Daddy look like a thug?) Then, being the independent cuss that she is, she decided to stand the rest of the way. Anyone ever tried to stand on a Skytrain without holding on? Yeah, not a good idea. I had to catch her every time the train slowed or sped up. And every time I caught her, she'd get mad at me. Brat!

Once we got downtown it was a short walk to the exhibit (especially for Jordan who conned Daddy into carrying him). We bought our tickets (thank you Great Grandma & Great Grandad Gilbert) and went inside. We arrived just as a show was starting so we rushed in to catch it. It was very well done and Jordan loved the star attraction. He was the first to volunteer to help with the T-Rex and got to go behind the curtain and pet the T-Rex's tail! He was in heaven. After the show we wondered around and looked at the other exhibits. Another show started while we were still there and Jordan dashed into the front row. Just as the announcer was going to start the big climax bit where they drop the curtain and show off the big T-Rex, Jordan pipes up from his seat... "Excuse me, sir, is there a T-Rex behind the curtain?" and as while we groaned, the very nice announcer said "yes, I was just getting to that." It was very cute.




The ride home was much more relaxing as both kids were too tired to cause much fuss. Though Katie did flirt with the couple behind us and always has time to make ugly faces at her Daddy.
