I think my parents got rid of my Big Bag of Plastic Dinosaurs while I wasn’t looking. I had a ton of them, of various kinds and manufacture, along with plastic rocks that they strolled amongst. Time has passed them by. They’re restored differently these days, with tendon-strengthened vertebrae keeping those counterbalancing tails of the T. Rex, Stegosaur, and Allosaur off the ground, wth Iguanodons spending time on all fours (instead of walking on two legs, with their taloned thumbs up in an “AAAaaaayyy!” gesture, like prehistoric Fonzies. But they still look cool. And my sets had Dire Wolves! In with the dinosaurs! I wonder if George R. R. Martin owned a set like that. ---

My plastic dinosaurs are in the hands of my grandson these days. As much loved now as they were back in my day. ---

Ummm, any suggestions on where to take a [life-sized](http://www.wral.com/macy-s-to-debut-four-new-balloons-in-thanksgiving-parade/15071899/) dino out to eat? ---

Always loved this. We ate in tonight, but we ate fancy Thanksgiving-style dinner. I am wearing one of [these](https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/210882421/4-stone-dinosaur-pendants-set-of-4). ---

We took a couple of ours out, but it was wet and miserable weather so we came back home and [shared some pie](https://www.flickr.com/photos/17270214@N05/22992915532/in/photostream/) with them instead! ---

They enjoyed a hotdog at Costco. Not all Prehistoric Creatures Days are Fancy ones. 🙂
