Get Ready for Summer with Little Passports

With warmer temperatures and summer quickly approaching, there is plenty to celebrate! With Little Passports, not only will your kids be jumping for joy with all of the fun activities, but they will also be taken on a journey to Southeast Asia where they will learn about the Gawai Dayak Festival. Similar to what we enjoy as Thanksgiving with turkey and pumpkin pie, this event is celebrated with traditional foods, family gatherings and plenty of music and dancing. Get inspired with a Little Passports World Edition: 3 or 6 months at $13.95/monthsubscription today and you and your family will begin a journey of learning and excitement this summer.Little Passports

At the recent Home School Convention I ran across an amazing adventure product with travel in mind!  In reality, some of you have overwhelming thoughts of travel with kids. It takes a lot of planning and effort sometimes, and often, we just don’t have the vacation days or the budget to actually take the kids to all the exciting places we want to.  So, in comes Little Passports!  This program is going to be an excellent resource for those of you who cannot easily travel around the country or around the world.

I am an affiliate with Little Passports and will be compensated a commission on any subscription you choose to sign up for.  They have gifted us one month subscription for free and any opinions expressed here are solely my own.  You may or may not agree. I tend to think you will LOVE this program though!  (-:

Dinosaur World-Glen Rose, Texas!

May 15, 2014 by tillywee 2 Comments

  This post is sponsored by Dinosaur World, Glen Rose, Texas.  Dinosaur World provided us with tickets for a one-day visit.  I am writing a review based on my visit and all opinions are my own.

The kids were super excited to get to Dinosaur World, Glen Rose, Texas! It was about a 75 mile drive for us but it went by quickly as all were thrilled that their ride in the car meant they were going on an adventure! When we arrived at the museum, we were greeted by three lovely ladies who were thrilled to have us there. They were all very friendly and interacted with the children, answering all their questions and matching their enthusiasm.
We were given an introduction to the activities we were going to participate in that day. Then, we headed out!

Quest #1: Walking Among the Dinosaurs!

variety of dinosaurs

Our youngest is a detail oriented child, so the walk around the trail of dinosaurs was his favorite part of the day! He wanted to name every single dinosaur and he knew exactly which one was his favorite! (pictured here below!)

The walk takes about 30 minutes or so but it really can be taken at your own pace.  All the kids enjoyed the walk and had a great time learning about the different dinosaurs. It was fun to listen to them try to pronounce the many names.

There is a pronunciation guide on each sign!  20140529_112504


Quest #2 Dig for Fossils!
Sift through sand at the Fossil Dig and find authentic fossils to take home.  

The fossils below are some of the actual fossils our kids found!  Each participant has to choose just three to take home.  They found many more and then chose their three favorite.

 

Quest #3 Visit the indoor museum!

This was a great way to cool off from the hot sun for a little while. They have really amazing fossils to look at here!

Quest #4:  Lunch!

For lunch, enjoy any of the three picnic table areas.   All are covered to provide shade!  We brought our ice chest and sandwiches and snacks on in and enjoyed eating in the covered picnic area in the bone-yard sand box area!  The kids loved digging up dinosaur bones during our lunch time!

Quest #5 Panning for Gems!

The Lucky Strike Ticket could be used anytime during our visit. We chose to do that after lunch, at the end of our visit. In hindsight…I fully recommend doing this early in the day! (It was very hot panning in the afternoon sun!)  The kids enjoyed this activity very much!  They all wanted to purchase another of cool rocks and gems!

Quest #6 Take home our gems and fossils and study them!

We will take these home and identify them with the identification card provided by Dinosaur World!
