The CBZ Dinosaurs











Okay... So for as long as I can remember there has ALWAYS been the Dinosaurs in Cabazon. That's just the way it is! In fact our mascot in elementary school were the dinosaurs. The Cabazon Dinosaurs! YEP! Anyways... we went up there while we were down, so that we could show the dinosaurs to the kids, and because we heard rumors of there being a dinosaur museum there. We decided we wanted to check it out! It turns out that there IS a cool little dinosaur park there now, along with the Brontosaurus (a giftshop) and the T-Rex (that was supposed to be a slide, but never was). The kids loved it there. I loved it for that matter. We got to go through a cave that had 2 dinosaur rides for the kids, robotic dinosaurs that you could touch, and some fun activities that the kids could do. The first activity is digging to find fossils (white quartz) if they found one, they would get a prize. The next activity was panning for gemstones ( I think I enjoyed this more than the kids) Any gemstones that they found, they got to keep. All the while, there is a path filled with all sorts of different dinosaurs. At the end you could actually go up into the T-Rex. We got to hike to the top and look out of his teeth. It was such a fun time. After that, me and the kids met up with my friend Billy and his family. It was so nice to be able to visit and catch up. It has been a long time since I had seen him. Jordan and Elly loved playing with their kids Cameron and Dylan. We had a fun time!
