My kids LOVE dinosaurs.

The Land Before Time and the dinosaur part in Fantasia will always remind me of Peter. Dinosaurs in general remind me of Peter. Maybe that's one reason it's been fun to see my own kids fall in love with dinosaurs. We had an excellent time at the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point during our recent trip to Utah. Jane's favorite: pteranodon. Grey's favorite: the giant shark, probably. In fact, Grey also loves sharks, which also make me think of Peter. I feel bad I didn't know Peter as well beyond that--that I didn't talk to him about his love of Japanese culture, or diving, or just to find out more about what he was interested in. I am grateful though, that I have these little memories of Peter and that I can think of him when I'm sharing fun times with my kids.
