Dinosaur Play

Today was Sammie's turn to shine as she played the young Miss Shinners in her school's re-enactment of a last month's trip to the Dinosaur Museum. She got to say a couple of lines and she did wonderful. She was loud and clear and obviously had a lot of fun.

Especially when the singing started. The first song was about a Stegosaurus (which we slept under) and the second was about a Pterodactyl (her favorite dinosaur). But one of her favorite songs was about how T-Rex ruins everything. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

This is a picture of the Stegosaurus that Sammie and her friend Spencer drew for the play. Just like the one we slept under when ...

... Sammie and I got to sleep with the dinosaurs. This was one of the most exciting things I have ever done, so imagine how excited the 150 kids were that night.

Here is the scene of our campground. RIGHT UNDER THE STEGOSAURUS! Yes it was a little scary when they started walking around after lights out.

Eventually, Sammie and her best friend Kayleigh fell asleep! I didn't think she could stay up that late, but she made to 11:30 (which, if you know Sammie, is VERY late).

And she was still happy at 6 a.m. when we got up to eat! All in all it was a lot of fun going to the museum and reliving it through the play today.
