Bonus Holiday Episode: Solstice Time – While visiting the North Pole, the Conductor suggests that the family stop off at Aurora Borealis Station on an enormous frozen lake to see the Aurora Borealis, where the Northern Troodons celebrate a “Festival of Lights.” While the kids wait for night to fall and view the Aurora Borealis, they work up an ice-skating show to entertain Mom and Dad. Everyone joins in to sing “Solstice Time is Here” and skate under the lights!

Our Thoughts …

Matthew is loving the new dinosaur book and DVD as you can tell from this picture …

Matthew is still loving dinosaurs so there is HUGE excitement when dinosaur items appear at our house! He loves lifting the flaps of the books as he reads. As for the DVD, Matthew just sang the ABC song for the first time to us a few weeks ago … all.by.himself!! So he loves that the DVD combines his new knowledge of the ABCs and his massive love for dinosaurs! It just doesn’t get better than that folks!
