And on and on we go with the dinosaurs… The Diplodocus is a popular herbivore found in the Jurassic period in the USA. With an exceptionally long neck and tail there have been skin impressions found that suggest spikes or spines along the back of this massive dinosaur. Many partial skeletons have been found to create the whole image we are familiar with.

And now onto the videos… of course we started with I’m a Dinosaur…

We join Professor Nick on a short all about the Diplodocus…

And finally watch the herd at work with a predator to boot with BBC

  Note the additional detail he noticed on other informative sites! He does so love to be exact!

We are always excited to find another Alberta dinosaur. This smaller Tyrannosaur was quite the carnivore and while not as large at the T Rex it was quite formidable in the face of the smaller herbivores. The Gorgosaurus was found in the Cretaceous period and had the same large head, sharp teeth, powerful back legs and shortened front arms with claws.

Our video is once again from I’m A Dinosaur. We are coming to the end of their 49 episode series!!

June 6-7

Father’s Day has become a wonderful way to get to know more about Ken… asking the questions about his past, his interests and favourites… so much fun! Trinity and Emanuel coloured him a Best Dad Diploma.

Gavin and Emanuel enjoyed a Dinosaur story together. I absolutely LOVE the picture Emanuel drew for his dinosaur book! That binder is going to be a reference book for us for ages to come!

Danny and the Dinosaur by Syd Hoff

For his book

We practiced our song for Daddy… the kids’ gifts to him…

On Friday we read another Dad centered book… and drew a picture of things that made us think of dad or that we would like to give him…

We also received an amazing package from Gammie… Cousin Jimmie’s Grandma has definitely adopted us!! We are so grateful for not only her presents but her amazing letters she writes to us.

Thank you!

The girls immediately had to tuck their babies in with their brand new HANDMADE blankets!!! Gorgeous!

We started our Sunflower journals in earnest as well… 3 little seeds which will hopefully all grow! Be sure to do a search for sunflower resources! Science Kids has a great lesson set up HERE.

We rounded off our day with some amazing cards… the thumbprint book we picked up at a garage sale is an absolute gem!! Enjoy!!!
