Alright here is the set up: We go to Hobby Lobby to get a few small craft items and there amidst the candy at the check out aisle is a package with none other than the blessed dinosaur on the cover. Jordan, inquisitive as he is, further investigates whether there truly could be a real live dinosaur in that little paper packet. The answer? Well . . . kind of. In the package were prehistoric eggs (ahem) of a primitive crustacean, relative to the horseshoe crab (which all know lfrolicked with the REAL dinosaurs), aptly named "Triops". So for $4.99 we took home this little package of magic and hatched our very own, very smelly Triops. Now . . . I have to admit, the little buggers were pretty incredible. They grew from wiggling specks to about 2-3 inches long with shells and eyes and bajillions of oogly legs in only 1 short week. Ah how we enjoyed these high-maintenance little vermin but alas, they passed away only a few days ago. Right on schedule.
