The Prehistoric Pals are getting ready for their annual Quest. Sasha is tangled up in even more lights this year. TySantasaurus Rex and I finalize the “Nice List” in preparation for the Prehistoric Quest. I hope you’ve been nice; the Carnivores are very hungry this time of the year! The Nine Raptor Team – Brison, Xavier, Jeffrey, Jerry, Jadon, Charlie, Alan & Blue with Raphael the Red Nose Raptor in front will lead the Quest. Blue Too is on the run with last minute errands. And No, “Too” is not a typo. Too meaning also. The only numbers for these Dinosaurs are their measurements and order for when they arrived at the Park.
Stephanie & Stanley are ready for awesome Snowball Fun. Spencer AKA Spike has decked out his sail with snow cones and mini-santa hats. The Triceratops – Tereasa, Paul & Christopher sport mini-santa hats on their horns. CG AKA Clever Girl the Raptor and T-Rexes – Calvin, Hobbes & Max – show off their Santa Hats. Winter in Southern California is rarely with snow. I have been fortunate to enjoy a couple of those rare times. We often receive a little frost and sometimes enough to look like a mist of snow. Sasha plays Frosty the T-Rex. We would go to the Mountains for Snow Play and making that Classic Snowman! And maybe even bring some home in the car! Therefore, Our decorations have to make-up for the lack of Real Snow. A Dinosaur Village, Santa Hats of All sizes, Cardboard Ornaments and Paper Snowflakes make this a Fun Winter Holiday Season.
The Prehistoric Quest takes place when many celebrate Christmas. The Greyhounds – Marta & Jerome take turns watching from the window with Alejandro, as the Quest takes Flight.
Happy Holidays!
