Walking With Dinosaurs..Mental Melt Down.. (long post)

A couple months ago when I saw the commercial for WALKING WITH DINOSAURS, I thought hey Wyatt (since he wants to be a dinosaur see previous post) would love it. SO we bought tickets, and thought we would surprise the little guy and take him. And plus if we tell Wy about events that are of this magnitude, he tends to nag me to no end, How much longer.. Is it today... when we going.. (you get the picture). A few days before the show, I caught various news clips on the WALKING WITH DINOSAURS, and one of the morning news people, mentioned, "Talking to young children before hand, letting them know that these dinosaurs are just puppets, so your children will know what to expect".
Ah my kid is tough I thought, my kid LOVES dinosaurs, and LOVES acting like a dinosaur, so we will continue to keep it a surprise.
So we hop on the front runner and head to "the Big City" (as wyatt calls it) when tracks pulled up to the Energy Solutions arena, wyatt noticed the big Walking with Dinosaurs semi trailers, and the first thing he said to me was... I am too young to go to the Walking with Dinosaurs, right mom and dad... Uh well Wyatt, That is where we are going... are you excited???
UH NO... I am too young to go, I don't want to go.
I was for SURE NOT going to go home, plus I already paid a butt load for a train ticket.
So.. we go in get seated, get popcorn, T-rex's, drinks and all that stuff that ya have to get.. and then then lights shut off, and the ground started to rumble... oh boy... my dinosaur of a boy, had a melt down. So Casey takes him out, and I thought I better go as back up, to help coax the scared little fella back to his seat. While we are up in the tunnel thing, trying to convince Wy that it is ok, and they are puppets (yeh all the stuff KUTV morning guy told me I should tell my kid before hand), the usher proceeds to tell me, Miss you can't stand here, you either have to take your seat and leave. Uh SIR.. we will take our seat when WE ARE READY, this usher SIR goes on to tell me, that you can get a refund if its within the first 15 minutes, but we needed to take our seats or LEAVE... By this time I am sweating buckets (I still had on my winter coat, and scarf), so we took baby steps, we would go peek on to the arena, then back up a little, all the while Wyatt is clinging to me like a baby chimpanzee to his mother, SOOOOOOOOOOO after 20 minutes of going back and forth, and having the usher repeat his dear self a dozen times, we made it to our seats!!
I am happy to say that after this MENTAL MELT DOWN.. he was glued to the action the rest of the time, and LOVED IT.
But I other the other hand wasn't that impressed, in fact I was kind of bummed. dont get me wrong, they were really realistic looking, and the special effects that are put into each dinosaur are amazing, but the show in its entirety (not including the 25 intermission) lasted MAYBE an hour.. and paying more per ticket then I have for any concert ticket, I at least thought there would be a little more too it... So live and learn right??? RIGHT?? Next time crazy morning guy is telling me parenting skills I had better listen up!
