Dinosaurs! | Pearlridge Center on Oahu

I can't wait to get a glimpse of the land I've been viewing time again in your blog. 

I will go there and see the exibit myself next time I am in Hawaii.

this was fun!

Thanks for the pics and for the videos!

What a cool looking display Sally! I am sure both kids and adults enjoyed this one.

A fabulous excuse to go shopping too, Sally! It is amazing the little ones tend to love dinosaurs...

What a fun localism post.  Thank you for giving me a smile today!  One of these days, I will come see your beautiful state.

Woo Hoo, Love the videos and you did a great job. Animation is so cool and it creates interest and can bring to kids a better understanding our the evolution of the planet.  Wonderful and very enjoyable. But even beyond that, when you came came upon it for the very first time, I can hear you laugh and that alone brings a smile.

Looks like a great place Sally and thanks for the view!

Sally this looks like a great place but shopping centers are something that I try to avid especially with my wife. They tend to be painful experiences right around my back pocket.

Woo Hoo, Aren't most of us, if we would only admit, just big kids.Thankfully in this day we can still be responsible adults and still share the "Little Kid" in us. When I go to Epcot or Disneyland , the little kid in me comes out. We tire a bit faster but we also don't want to miss anything along the way.

I'll share a brief story with you that I love since it inspires me in my own day to day works. I grew up on Mickey Mouse and Walt himself has always been a real inspiration to me in the way he lived life. When he started out, he had no money, no job just his amazing way of expressing animation and capturing the world in the " what ifs" of animation.  His first job was as an illustrator for a Church's Sunday morning program. In the shack where he would have to work was a mouse that also called it home. Everyday it would reveal itself to him. He sketched an animation of that mouse and named it Mortimer. Walt's wife loved it but suggested something more simple like Mickey the Mouse. Thus, Mickey Mouse was born in adverse and hard time. When talent and capturing the imagination meet opportunity, Magic is created.  The rest is history. In our lives we must often look for the opportunity that aligns with our own talent(s). When find it, Magic for our lives is also born.

PS, I hoped everyone picks up on thet fact that as brillaint an illustrator as Walt was, it was his wife that made Mickey Mouse the icon it turned out to be. As they say, behind any great man's success is usually a women that gave him or at least nutured the idea.
