Footprints

Alice and Fang and I went looking for cotton velour for our dinosaur cloning project. Fang travels with Alice in the front seat, with his fangs and little arms flopping in the breeze.

We tried Osgood's Textile, but they didn't have what we needed. So we went to Joanns in Holyoke, and they didn't have what we needed either, but they had some other stuff that felt like it would make a nice dinosaur.

On the way home from Holyoke, Fang saw the sign for the dinosaur footprints beside the river. So we stopped and went to look. First Fang read the information on the sign, so he would know what to look for. This is what they think the dinosaurs looked like that made the footprints.

Then he went to find some prints. He found one that was just his size, and fitted his foot into it.

Then Alice found a large print. Fang inspected it.

That must have been a large dinosaur, that made that footprint! Fang looked along the trackway, and found another footprint:

The dinosaur that made these was much bigger than Fang.

When we asked him why the dinosaurs were walking into the cliff, he said Alice would know. Alice said the cliff wasn't there when the dinosaurs were walking in mud and making tracks.

All that thinking made us hot, so we got in the car and went home, where the air conditioner was going.
