From out of the canals...

Come the most incredible beasts. Terrorizing motorists and home dwellers alike:


I was changing Elena into her pjs and we had been hearing these eerie screams and roars but didn't see anything outside. Erin yells "Jake, come quick!" and there were *DINOSAURS* outside. Elena was a bit intimidated and has been up and down a little this evening -- we didn't expect them to knock on the windows -- but settled down after mommy went out to "check it".

For the most part they turned out to be harmless and strode on by with purpose:



but live action footage of them as they "terrorized" the neighborhood from their base in our back garden can be reached here:
