This is Steve. He worked at our favorite game store. This was his first time meeting me.

It's a good thing I'm not scared of heights.

Tonight, Dinos are learning how to draw themselves thanks to @silvaniart.bsky.social's wonderful Draw-A-Saurus book. None of them can really hold a pencil, but digital drawing tools have opened a way for the dinos to draw.

Tonight, we're making Monster Cookies! These have to be mixed by hand once you add the oats and peanut butter . . . cause the dough is thick enough to burn out the motor on electric mixers.

But they are favorite cookies around here.

What are dinos reading this week?

The dinos have been enjoying Feral since the first issue. This survival horror story about cats during a outbreak of a super strain of rabies never disappoints with its story or art. Frills is particularly fond of Lord. Steagy worries about the kittens.

Frills was thrilled to meet Akane Tendo and P-Chan at Phoenix Fan Fusion back in June. Frills had a childhood crush on P-Chan and has avoided the new Ranma series out of fear that it won't live up to her memories. Should she watch it? What do you think?

It may be a big world, but little dinos love exploring it.

Rusty is the other half of the "Elephant Walk" sculpture. Steagy and Frills found the top of his head to be a good place to look out over the soccer fields.

This is Little Red. He was a Valentine's Day present to Dad last year. He enjoy slides and swings and singing the wrong lyrics to songs on the radio. We like his versions better most of the time.

Scurry decided to survey the area from atop the trunk of this elephant. The sculpture is named Ruby in honor of Ruby the painting elephant (1973 - 1998) from the Phoenix Zoo. It's part of the pair of sculptures of "Elephant Walk".

Even a rainy day doesn't discourage Frills from exploring the park. The visiting Canadian geese are particularly fond of uncooked oats.

Sometimes, a little dino just needs to watch the birds in Grandma's backyard with the plush pineapple Big Sister made for him.

This is our first group photo. During my second Phoenix Fan Fusion con, Dad happened to check Samurai Comic's booth and found both my siblings! Reunited after a year apart and our adventures together finally began!

Note: Frills was so nervous, her frill flipped forward.

This is Alex. He manages our local FLCS - Samurai Comics Glendale. Mom and Dad found me in the plushie bin there along with Frills and Scurry. When Mom gave me to Dad as a birthday present, he decided to go back for my friends. But, they were gone . . .

Meet Scurry! He's fond of science fiction and super heroes. (Devil Dinosaur is a particular favorite for him.) He . . . um . . . *may* have hijacked the TARDIS at one point. He's a little vague on the subject.

This is Frills. She loves dancing, reading, and dressing up. She's very popular with the cosplayers we meet.

Hello, everyone! I'm Steagy and I'm going to document my travels and the neat people I meet here on Bluesky!
