Did You Know? - Many years ago while building our family website, I would get curious about a topic. So, onn the page (as you see above), I would add a box entitled "Did You Know" and in those boxes I would research the topic of interest and put in a blurb about that topic...perhaps a defintion, perhaps a short history, perhaps trivia. So, Collen, Michele, and Robin made little "Did You Know" cards and placed them in center o the table...each guest read out loud a "Did You Know".

Did You Know? - Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago, although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research. They became the dominant terrestrial vertebrates after the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event 201.3 million years ago; their dominance continued through the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The fossil record demonstrates that birds are modern feathered dinosaurs, having evolved from earlier theropods during the Late Jurassic epoch. As such, birds were the only dinosaur lineage to survive the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. Dinosaurs can therefore be divided into avian dinosaurs, or birds; and non-avian dinosaurs, which are all dinosaurs other than birds.
