It香蕉视频直播檚 Jurassic Park... with bubbles.

Sicamous has taken a prehistoric turn with the recent arrival of Mark and Lois de Bruijn and their family, which includes cats, dogs and dinosaurs. The latter had many people doing double takes over the Canada Day weekend as a triceratops, T-Rex and other prehistoric pals, accompanied by a bubble machine, made their debut while cruising Main Street.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 what makes me happy, makes other people happy,香蕉视频直播� said Mark. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 just so much fun.香蕉视频直播�

His eye-catching trailer of animated dinos is a natural fit with his Mark4Gems rock and gem lapidary business, which is also how he got his first one. When he first started out in the rock business, he had a small company and attended a lot of flea markets where he 香蕉视频直播渁lways spent more money than I ever made.香蕉视频直播� 

香蕉视频直播淚 seen a big T-Rex in the back of a truck at one of the rock and gem shows we do, and I told the wife, 香蕉视频直播業 want that, I want to put it in the front yard香蕉视频直播�,香蕉视频直播� de Bruijn said of the dinosaur that started it all.  香蕉视频直播淪he said, 香蕉视频直播業 don香蕉视频直播檛 think so香蕉视频直播�.香蕉视频直播�

As the business became more established, they started attending bigger rock shows, but his dinosaur dream never died out. At one of those shows, he broke the news to his wife by asking if she remembered when he used to spend more than he made, to which she responded, 香蕉视频直播榳hat did you do香蕉视频直播�?

香蕉视频直播淚 bought a T-Rex,香蕉视频直播� he told her, having finally bought that original dinosaur. It didn香蕉视频直播檛 stop there.

"I香蕉视频直播檓 kind of addicted... I ended up buying more and more and more.香蕉视频直播�

In a compromise with his wife, de Bruijn kept his growing herd at their warehouse, where he also created a Family Fun Centre that became very popular. He did admit to getting one constant complaint though, with 香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 wanna go home,香蕉视频直播� a regular refrain among the kids. 

Despite the success of his business and attraction, it couldn香蕉视频直播檛 withstand the downturn the market took a few years ago that caused him to lose everything. His dinosaurs went extinct. 

Having recently moved to Sicamous from Abbotsford, he香蕉视频直播檚 in the process of rebuilding his rock and gem business and, as locals have seen, his dino herd.

香蕉视频直播淚 noticed one of my dinosaurs for sale on Facebook... so, there we go,香蕉视频直播� he said, again adding more along the way with four now installed in his truck and trailer. 

While de Bruijn said his dinos make people happy, he found that doesn香蕉视频直播檛 include everyone after he got pulled over by police in Abbotsford, the one and only time that happened.

香蕉视频直播淗e goes, 'what are the bubbles for?' And I go, 'because people like 香蕉视频直播榚m,'香蕉视频直播� he recalled, managing not to add "except you."

More recently, a local dad had to face the wrath of his young daughter who was so mad at him after they missed seeing the dinosaurs in the Sicamous Askew香蕉视频直播檚 parking lot because 香蕉视频直播渉e took too long to put his sandals on.香蕉视频直播� De Bruijn said the situation was defused by driving around until they found him. 

香蕉视频直播淚 really enjoy driving around in that truck and making kids happy,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淎nd it brightens my day at the same time.

"It relieves my stress; it's the only way I can stay sane."
