New Mom Old Mom

I took my son (9), daughter (12) and nephew (5) to see “Walking with Dinosaurs” last night at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

It was a very cool experience, especially for the boys.  I must admit, my daughter and I weren’t as into it as they were, although I did learn some things.  And it wasn’t ever boring, just not my passion.

My 5-year-old nephew was probably the most versed among us as to the names of the dinosaurs, and he simply could not wait for T-Rex to make her appearance.  He was not disappointed. 

As a Christian, I was just remotely apprehensive about what “evolution” messages were going to be delivered, wondering if I would be fumbling to answer questions from my kids about how the dinosaurs fit into the creation stories they learn at church.  But I was pleasantly surprised.  It was “just the facts,” interesting, strictly historic/scientific, and in my opinion, would not bother even the most fundamental creationist.

I’d recommend the show, which is on-tour for at least a couple more months.
