The Many Adventures of Dino Wrangler Emma & Farmer Owen

The past couple of weekends the kids have had lots to do. Over Memorial Weekend, we drove to Cabazon to visit Claude Bell's famous Dinosaurs. I have memories of being a kid and stopping to see these guys on my way to Palm Springs. They are still considered the worlds largest concrete dinosaurs. Owen is a huge dinosaur fanatic, pronouncing dino names I couldn't wrap my head around, so he was thrilled to see them. The belly of the Apatosaurus houses a gift shop filled with everything dinosaur. Owen ended up buying a dino tee, a fossil dig kit, and a poster. Emma bought, of all things, a toy cowboy gun with a pink belt holster and stir ups. Nothing says dinosaur souvenir like a toy cowboy gun.

Don't mess with Dino Wrangler Emma!




Stay back Dimetrodon!


Otherwise you'll have to deal with Emma........


and this might happen.








I wasn't aware these guys lived in the Jurassic Period ;)






Just this past weekend we went to Tanaka Farms to do some strawberry picking. We usually go there in October to visit the U Pick Pumpkin Patch, but have never been for the strawberry picking. The weather was great and the kids had tons of fun. We rode on a tractor wagon which took us around the farm. Along the way to the strawberry fields we got to sample some of the veggies the farm has to offer like carrots, onions and broccoli. My kids love veggies, so they enjoyed the samples. I would definitely put this on the top of any family's to do list. We'll be going back in the summer for the U Pick Watermelon patch.

They had these cute "farmer" hats to buy. My son's head is very large, and the hat is very small. Don't laugh.






Owen loves broccoli.
