My oh my does Cannon LOVE dinosaurs! He is always talking about them and wanting to watch the Land Before Time movies on Netflix. His dinosaur obsession is a funny thing though...even though he is fascinated by them, he is also terrified of them! For example, if Blaine or I are playing downstairs with Cannon and need to come upstairs for something, Cannon HAS to come upstairs with us or he will start to sort of freak out and always say, "the dinosaurs are coming, the dinosaurs are coming". At first Blaine and I thought it was kind of cute and funny. However, because Cannon now says it ALL the time and can't play by himself downstairs because of his fear of a T-Rex coming to get him, it doesn't seem quite as funny. Additionally, whenever Blaine or I play hide and seek with Cannon, he almost always says that he is hiding from dinosaurs. Where do kids come up with this stuff? Anyway, over the last two weeks we took Cannon to the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point and to the Hogle Zoo, where currently there are life-like dinosaurs displayed throughout the zoo as part of its Zoorassic Park exhibit. When Cannon saw the dinosaur bones at the museum and the real-looking dinosaurs at the zoo, he was both amazed and a little scared. However, Cannon did much better if he was held while looking at the dinosaurs, which is why you will see us carrying him in almost all of the following pictures:

Who needs to see lions, tigers, and bears at the zoo when you've got dinosaurs?:
I also had to add some pictures taken today of the kids in their semi-matching shirts:
