As I wrote before, today was my first daddy day where everything is back to normal. That makes last week my last daddy day of the vacation. Not only that, also it was a true daddy day because Lisa already had to work. I wanted to do something nice with my kids. Lorelei likes pretty much anything, and Tobias loves dinos, so, I took the to the Dino Forest in Amersfoort. It is actually a zoo with a section where they have life-size dinosaurs.
It was a great day and Tobias was sooooo excited. The dino section really isn’t all that big, but we spent over two hours there! Some dinosaurs are moving, others are just still, like this one. I don’t think Tobias would have put his head into a moving dinosaur… Even though he knows and realizes that dinosaurs are extinct, there was still somewhat of a scare, especially because there were loud roars in the forest too.
Lorelei did not have a care in the world and was just walking from one dino to another pointing and saying “this” and “these”. Tobias was really interested, especially in the ones that he did not know yet. Each dino had a bone (i.e. sign) explaining all about it. They were set up in chronological order starting in the devonian time period (and hence not really dinosaurs, just really big reptiles) all the way through to the cretaceous time period. It was actually quite funny, because everytime we saw a dino that he knew and I would start to read he would say: “Papa, you don’t have to read that one, I already know all that…”.
