I finished repairing the insert for the Easter Basket. It looks good as new! Next year I will probably make a new insert using color card stock to make more interesting and much sturdier. Note: The Styrofoam was used to provide depth for the lower layer. I frequently receive packages with Styrofoam sheets. I always…

EasTer Rex and Crafts for Easter Fun!
We have all heard of the Easter Bunny. Did you know there were Easter Dinosaurs? Really! The EasTer Rex, the EasteRapator, EasTerceratops and many other Eatersaurus. For some reason the Bunny is the only Easter animal people seem to remember. Hmmmm. Millions of years ago a group of Dinosaurs met to improve relationships with all…

Springtime with Dinosaurs!
It’s Springtime at the Park. The wisteria is in bloom. In addition, the rains this year have provided lots of green. Warmer weather is the perfect time to start planting flowers and vegetables. Which means lots of yard work! Paul, Marc & Christopher have been trimming (or eating) the brush around their area. Marc would…
A “Dinotopia” Reading & Dinosaurs in the Public Library – Book Review continued
We had a “Dinotopia” reading today at the Park. “Dinotopia: A Land apart from Time” and “Dinotopia: The World Beneath” by James Gurney. He created these wonderful stories and published them in 1992 & 1995 respectively. James published two other “Dinotopia” books – “First Flight” 1999 and “Journey to Chandara” 2007. I will have to…
Valentine’s Day – Dinosaurs, Chocolate, Flowers & Great Music
Raphael makes heart shape brownies from a recipe my Grandmother & Mother used when I was a little kid. Using Bisquick instead of flour makes them rise. I’m not sure if the recipe came from the side of a box of Bisquick or not, it was so many years ago. I’ve attached the recipe for…
Training Your Metal Dinosaur
When you bring your metal dinosaur home, give him time to get use to his new surroundings. Then you can start training. Dinosaurs are very intelligent and sensitive animals. As a result “sit”, “lay down” and “roll over” won’t fly. However, “Stay” seems to work extremely well. They actually really enjoy that request. So much,…
Dinosaurs at Family Story Time – Camarillo Public Library
The book reading Tuesday Night at the City of Camarillo Public Library was a success. The kids were great and had lots of questions. They all had their favorite dinosaur – T-Rex, Velociraptor, Pteranodon and Brontosaurus (now know as Apatosaurus). I know, I really liked the Brontosaurus name meaning “Thunder Lizard” much more. But that’s…
