Is T-Rex gonna eat that man, Mama?

That is the precious question I heard my cousin Whitney's three year old son ask her Saturday afternoon while we were watching Walking With Dinosaurs in The City. He wasn't the least bit worried about it, he was just wondering. And, no, T-Rex didn't eat the man, or any dinosaur either.
So this is one of those pictures where you hold the camera in front of yourself and hope you get a good picture. Obviously, this one isn't good, but family members will find it funny because I'm the one taking the picture and I'm the one in the majority of it. "Not surprisingly" they'd say!
This is the arena. The dinosaurs are life size and very real looking. As with all shows now though, they ask that you not take any pictures during the show so I snapped this one quickly before it began.
The big boys waiting for the show to start. We brought Jenni's oldest son who is very in to dinosaurs. Him and Bear are best friends.
Popeye and Princess sat between Hubs and I. We had been told by a previous attender that T-Rex was REALLY loud so we wanted to be prepared for any children who needed to jump into a safe lap. They both did great and just waved at Rex when she roared. (she had a baby, that's how we know it was a she)
Me and my beautiful cousin Whitney. We were so glad that her, her son, and her son's buddy were able to come. It was TONS of fun! (pun totally intended) While we don't believe all of their 'facts' about how things happened it was a great show. There was the narrator who was always on the arena floor with the dinosaurs which was very cool because it gave a great reference to how big these creatures really were. If you have kids or just love dinosaurs yourself I highly recommend it!
In the words of Princess as we were walking back to the car, "I watch again!?!"
