Season of Mists and Dinosaurs

When I drove home from work yesterday it was so misty that I could hardly see the road in front of me! Needless to say there were lots of fireworks all evening - the kitties were intrigued but didn't seem too bothered. This evening we watched the new Jurassic World (recommended by a pupil) and it brought back fond memories of watching its earlier incarnations when the boys were younger. It had all the ingredients of dinosaurs and a fast-paced plot that they loved, and the dialogue was always quite witty - Jeff Goldblum got all the best lines as I recall - I remember in the second movie when Richard Attenborough said that he wouldn't make the same mistakes again, JG said "No, you're making all new ones." And when the new theme park was described to him he said "oh yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running - and screaming."

Then in 2000 we did our Florida trip and when we were in Universal Studios we went on the Jurassic Park ride. The boys were beside themselves with excitement and when the ride started big gates opened up and the familiar (and excellent in my opinion) Jurassic Park music started and we were all so happy! Good memories.
