Dinosaurs!

This weekend, we drove the Heathens to State College to see Walking with Dinosaurs. It was amazing! Our seats were not the greatest - ours were the cheapest! But we still had a great view.

The show involves 15+ animatronic dinosaurs - all made life size! The large ones are "driven" by teams of two or three people inside, while the baby dinosaurs and the smaller ones are actually people in costume. It was fantastic and the Heathens absolutely loved it. It was a great field trip for the zoo!

You can really see the size of the dinosaurs in the shots where the paleontologist is visible. This was at the Bryce Jordan Arena and the dinosaurs FILLED the floor. In this video, the baby T-Rex is an adult male in costume - and he looks tiny!
