The kids woke bright and early. It was very cold at the cabin from all the rain, so we had everyone bundle up tight.
Grandpa has the perfect vehicle for Dinosaur hunts.
Finally the kids got out and did some searching on foot, where they found dinosaur poop!

| Ashton was worried he got poop on his boot :) |
Underneath the poop, we found DINOSAUR EGGS!
The kids were so excited :)
For the eggs to hatch, we needed to soak them in warm water for a couple days. It was really hard for the kids to be patient. Most of the eggs had some help cracking open.
Sydney is adamant that her dinosaur is real. She was very anxious for her dinosaur to hatch, so she helped open the egg. It was hard to see the dinosaur's eyes because it had not finished growing. The next day she had to have the dinosaur take a bath with her. The water made the dinosaur grow a little bit more, making it's eyes open up. Ever since then she is convinced that it is real, and must sleep with it every night :)
Thanks for the exciting adventure, Grandpa!

What a cool Grandpa!
This is so fun! Your parents are such great granparents!! What is the egg/dinosaur made of?
That is really neat. I've never seen "dinosaur eggs" like that before. Where on earth did he get them? Can you believe how soggy June was??! I'm glad you were still able to have fun in the cold and the wet.
My Mom said they picked the dinosaurs up at Cracker Barrel and they were about $5 each. I'm not sure what the egg was made of, it seems like it could have been a plaster of some kind. The dinosaur is like a hard sponge that expands when wet. They were pretty awesome :)
So creative! Dang, wish I could have hunted. And what is that hunting vehicle? Never seen that before. But then again, it's been like 10 yrs since I've been to the cabin.
OH MY GOSH! How cute it this?! I want to see a picture of the dinosaur! What a fun adventure for the kids. :)
