I hope everyone had as great of weather as we did today...! It was so beautiful we moved school outside for our Dino Dig Day🦖🦕 Started with one of our all time favorite most loved books: Dinosaur Dig by Penny Dale. If you haven’t read it, you should! Then I set their trays up outside. Hardest part was that I couldn’t set it up last night so I was scrambling a bit this morning. . 1: Painting dinosaurs. . 2: Digging for fossils that M then sorted as either letter or number, H did upper/lowercase letters and numbers. Great printables and idea from @thekindergartenconnection . 3: Measuring dinosaurs from @fairypoppinsdotcom with some awesome flexible rulers . 4: I spelled their names on rocks then mixed them in with others. They found those rocks then used a massive dump truck to transport them across the front yard. Hard work! . 5: I encouraged them to pick a dinosaur and draw it with sidewalk chalk. They actually just colored the dinosaurs with chalk, so that worked. . 6: Time to wash those dinosaurs! With new sponges and spray bottles. . Meanwhile, my zoom buddy and I taught some high schoolers about nationalism in Germany.

We continued our Dinosaur Dig theme for H’s family party yesterday! Dressed up a funfetti box cake with some chocolate sprinkles and Oreo crumbs for his personal cake — he loved it :-) Then we transformed our train table into a dinosaur dig zone — all the kinetic sand and mad mattr and homemade play dough leftover from the last few months mixed in with rocks and crystals from the dollar store, lots of dinosaurs and trucks (even some in Easter eggs)...kids had a blast. We also did a dump truck piñata that was a big hit, especially with the bigger kids. Hard to believe this sweet boy is getting so big!! #dinosaurparty #dinodig #dinosaurdig #thirdbirthday https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3QiLKFNyC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u93uag6tpurz

H turns THREE tmrw!!! Travis and I were talking about how the time has flown by so quickly but, at the same time, it’s hard to remember what life was like before him — he is truly the sweetest little guy! When he went to bed tonight, we put out some decorations for his family party this wknd and filled the floor with balloons. His school celebration was today — we are basing both parties off the book “Dinosaur Dig” by Penny Dale. It’s an awesome counting book about a dinosaur construction crew. (We also recently got her “Dinsoaur Rescue” which has quickly become a favorite.) So today we read the book to his class and M “helped” me set up a dinosaur construction site! I hid “jewels” inside kinetic sand in Tupperware containers with little tractors and dinosaurs...gave them some measuring spoons from the dollar store as digging tools. And they had a blast! I was shocked by how long they sat and worked on their digging. (I also put my painters tape that looks like tracks/roads on a dollar store tablecloth so they loved driving their truckloads along those!) I’m planning another version at home this weekend for H and his cousins... #turning3 #dinosaurdig #trucks #dinosaurs #happybirthday🎂 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bso2o0DFF9c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qrmwdpabw94x

Fellow adventure filmer @mustycarlos and I heading off the map in Wyoming with scientist @marcus.eriksen to dig up the 8th triceratops he has uncovered - over 65 million years old! This one behind us took him three months to dig up and construct! You can see it in Lusk Wyoming! Can't wait to share out adventure when we are back in coconut wifi! #indianajones #jurassicpark #alisonsadventures #joogsquad #dinosaurdig (at Lusk, Wyoming)
