Its Dino Mini Time!!!

Finally this is the mini book I've been working on! This particular book is about my trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum with Ian and Greg over Spring Break. Believe it or not, this thing took forever! But dang is it cute or what?

I actually ended up MAKING the binding and everything just out of paper. I was going to put it in a book, but i decided personal touch would be more fun.

The title of this mini is in regards to Ian's response after driving around lost for an hour in Indy. We finally found a paralell parking spot and asked a business man for directions who made it sound so EASY. eyeroll. Ian's response to his nonchalant answer was "Really?" in a high pitched voice. hahaha. It was really frustrating, but now its funny and makes a good story. :)
