Dough for Dino

Dough for Dino This is our own little “jawsome” FUNdraiser to help bring a 25’ long dinosaur skeleton to OSU! Full details at: https://ortongeologicalmuseum.osu.edu/

As we try to pursue “love, perseverance and gentleness” as a lifestyle, we remember how generously God loves and supplies us; He motivates and empowers us to be “rich in good works…ready to share” (1 Timothy 6:11-18). We hope to instill this generosity in our boys. Most days, it’s small and random acts of kindness. Saturdays, it’s fun to donut bomb friends. :)

And this Valentine’s Day, for the lo

ve of dinos, we join a most “jawsome” FUNdraiser - to help bring a 25’ long dinosaur skeleton to OSU! Our own kid-fueled campaign, “Dough for Dino,” will support the university’s largest crowd-funding effort ($80k) which kicks off officially in March 2017. Can we raise $100 to put in the donation jar when we return in two weeks (2/28) to the Orton Geological Museum?! (I can’t believe how fun, free and accessible it is - what a service it offers to our community!)

Nate suggests we bring friends and march across the Oval in costume as part of a dinosaur parade! Garrett wants to make and sell cookies! So, if you or your kids love dinos, cookies, baking or Buckeyes, please join us! (If you’d rather donate online, that’s great - follow the link and let us know, so we can count your contribution toward reaching our goal of $500 by 3/31.) Also, check back often -- we will be posting many more photos, videos and fun facts as part of our month-long dino-themed adventure!

A crushed fossil led to a clearer picture of dinosaur history. 🦖

Virginia Tech undergraduate student Simba Srivastava spent two years unscrambling an ancient fossil. His findings shed light on how dinosaurs dominated the Jurassic period.

The dinosaur’s out of the bag!

A statue of me riding a T-Rex (based on “Sue,” the largest and most complete tyrannosaurus skeleton ever discovered!) will be unveiled to the public on National Dinosaur Day, June 1st, at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC! 🦖 🦕

I am beyond honored and excited! I love that the essence of my music and my song "We Are The Dinosaurs" will now not only be embedded in this important and historic museum through my 25th anniversary music video (which they allowed me to film inside the museum!), but also through a statue! 🥹 It's unreal!

A book to read, a song to sing, a life remembered. 📚 🦖 🎵 Thank you for sharing, Tim Bowers Art (one of our favorite dinosaur illustrators … and he’s local, too)! 🎨

Hard to believe we’ve been here Facebooking about dino books and so much more for the past nine years, since launching the x campaign in March 2017 for the Orton Geological Museum at The Ohio State University (and for dino-lovers everywhere)!

Have you been yet to visit our in ? He’s FREE to see and most impressive, installed in large part with preschooler power 💥 and fueled by their favorite dino-centered songs and stories like this! 🥰

On this and 7th anniversary 🥳 of the / install that our kids helped fundraise for at The Ohio State University , we share this reminder …

… you don’t have to travel all the way to the Field Museum to get up close to our favorite frozen crested lizard like we did last spring! 🦖

The Orton Geological Museum also has an exciting dino display in its lobby and a free little museum to explore!

Since our Cryolophosaurus campaign began in early 2017, it had long been a dream to visit Chicago to see the real bones of this magnificent prehistoric creature!

While the Antarctic Dinosaur exhibit was sadly traveling during our visit to the Field, our trip did not disappoint!

The head of collections kindly accommodated our behind-the-scenes request and we got to take a peek 👀 into the specimen cabinet for a close up with the real deal dino! (Thanks, Bill!)

Check out our pix … and then go check out the for yourself next time you’re at Ohio State!
