恐竜とピックニック Picnicking with Dinosaurs

September 13, 2009: 長野に来る理由 Reasons to Come to Nagano

Eat, or get Eaten at the Shinonoi Dino Park

晴れている日曜日のお昼・・・ピックニックをしょうぜ!教会の帰りで長野市の篠ノ井地区の茶臼山恐竜講演で子供達とピックニックしました。T-Rexの足元でサンドウィッチを食べました。恐竜に食べられそうなところで自分が食べるのは不気味な雰囲気・・・
茶臼山恐竜公園はJR篠ノ井駅の裏、車で約15分です。恐竜が好きな保育園・小学生に最適。(2歳半の美咲ちゃんはちょっと怖がっていた。)

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon -- picnic time! The kids and I stopped at the Chausuayama Dinosaur Park in Nagano City's Shinonoi district. We ate sandwiches at the foot of a T-Rex (who seemed to be looking hungrily down at us!).
The Chausuayama Dinosaur Park is located on the hill behind JR Shinonoi Station and is a good 15 minutes by car from the station. (Bus access is limited.) 25 life-size statues of various dinosaurs -- perfect for those junior dinosaur fans out there. Our 2-1/2 year-old Misaki was a little frightened by the huge dinosaurs, but even she climbed the ladder up into the stomach of the T-Rex.
