This husband and I…
Did not know…that 120 million years ago…our own little Jurassic Park existed…just up the road…Dinosaur Science 101…taught by JoAnne…left us knowing more about dinosaur footprints…than our 5 dollar admission…should have allowed… Footprints can tell…a carnivore from a herbivore…running from sauntering…if they were with their friends…or venturing alone…we oohed and aahed…equally as amazed…as the little whipper snappers in our group…both proudly wearing…their dinosaur shirts…and cool Dino socks… Walking the trails…after the tour…this old gal was suddenly joined…by one of the tykes…who’d bolted as fast as his 3 year old feet would carry him…away from his family… We looked in awe…at the coolest of all the prints…him jumping up and down in excitement…we chatted…while waiting for mom to catch up…do you have a favorite dinosaur…Yep!…do you like dinosaur movies…Yep!…do you watch Jurassic Park?…Yep!… And then…as mom rounded the corner…he stops moving…looks me in the eye…and says…it was nice talking to you…all grown-up-like… This old gal watched…as he ran to mom…us standing there…looking at the past…me standing there…looking at the future… It was nice talking to you…indeed…my little friend… And this husband of mine…agrees...
