PBS's show Dinosaur Train, follows Buddy - a T-Rex, adopted by another dino family. Each show they learn facts about a new species of dinosaur as they ride on the dinosaur train. (A magical combination of Will's two favorite things....if they could work Batman into the storyline, Will's head may just explode.)
Buddy the dinosaur was going to be making an appearance at the Mall of America today from 10-10:30 and 11-11:30. I timed it so that we would get there right at 10 and be able to hop in line for Buddy. Silly me - I totally underestimated the popularity of Buddy. The 10:00 line was already closed, so we hopping in the 11:00 line. That meant waiting for an hour..... I figured we'd wait til Will got antsy, but he surprised me by waiting very patiently the whole time! Here's some pics of Buddy and Willie....
This is where the handler yells out "Don't worry Buddy - he only wants to give you a hug!"
(Was Buddy about to bolt?)
Will really didn't even want to let go. :)
After Buddy, we were on our way back to the car when we were stopped by security and told that we were not allowed into the parking garage because of a car fire. The entire walkway out of the mall was engulfed in smoke. So, we walked around for a half hour and checked back - still couldn't go out. We waiting with the others for another 10 minutes and then were allowed out to our cars. I was relieved to see our car -- not on fire. However - the car that WAS on fire was parked about 30 feet away.
