Happy Father’s Day Kevin Leet & to all the DINO-mite dads out there! You are treasured. Kevin, you work so hard being a middle school teacher and dinosaur Jack of all trades to provide for our family and bring joy to those around you.

You care deeply about providing a safe, loving home to our boys and keep us all organized and on track. You are silly and fun plus a master at helping the boys beat the toughest video game levels. You love to play board games as a family and give the best hugs. You take care of us and all of the dinosaurs too. You make sure we have everything we need, are always safe and loved.

Thank you for being our #1 Dad every year. We all love you sooooo much!

🦖Luna had so much fun surprising the movie🎥 goers at Ragtag Cinema tonight before their screening of 🦕Jurassic Park presented by The Connector featuring a panel discussion afterwards. We wanted to jump in on the fun and donated a visit from our Raptor to support Ragtag! They are an amazing part of our community and we appreciate the work they do!

🌟The “Extra Credit” series re-examines pop-culture cinema through an academic lens, as University of Missouri researchers from across the scholarly spectrum collide to poke, prod, and dissect films.

👏🎒📝Teachers, principals, and all school staff make a 💪powerful impact on all of our little ones every day. ❤️They have hearts of gold and we believe that teachers are some of the most priceless people in our community. THANK YOU for all you do!

🦖Rexy encourages you to 🙏thank a teacher👩‍🏫 today for their passion, caring, dedication, patience, and skill that they choose to use every day to shape the hearts and minds of children under their care.

🏃One of our core values at Show-Me Dinosaurs is putting our gratitude in action, which is why we offer discounts for all educators and schools who choose to book Show-Me Dinosaurs. We love seeing our community lift teachers up for all they do in every big and small way people can🙌

🥰Our boys have been blessed by wonderful teachers and staff during their time at Fairview Elementary School. Last night our youngest came bouncing in the house to show off his 🦅Falcon Four Award that he earned. He is incredibly proud of himself and we are grateful that his teachers are helping him become the best version of himself and taking the time to recognize him when he works hard. It means so much and can deeply shape his belief in himself which will be with him for the rest of his life. 💪

🙏🙏🙏Thank you Mr. Loesing for being an amazing teacher! Our son is SO lucky to have your👨‍🏫

😊Fun fact: Our co-owner Kevin is an 8th grade science teacher at Gentry Middle School and Jill ran a tutoring company for 5 years. That is part of why we love spreading joy with dinosaurs🦕 to get kids excited about learning (& sparking smiles wherever we go).

⏱️They also get us in as quickly as possible every time and have helped us in so many ways since we started last year!

Our (crazy) dream finally came true❤️ What started as a joke Kevin made about having dinosaurs at our wedding sparked my/Jill’s brain to start researching more about if it was really possible to have dinosaurs at our wedding!

🌎🦖We found a community of dinosaur event performers from around the world and after much planning, questioning, thinking maybe this is a crazy idea, conversations with performers across the country, drafting a business plan, talking with a Missouri Women's Business Center coach and more… 🎉we decided to launch Show-Me Dinosaurs as a small business based in Columbia, Missouri.

🎢It has been a wild ride since we ordered our dinosaurs back in early 2023. Our two custom giant dinosaurs and three baby dinosaur puppets finally arrived in May. 🚐We bought our used shuttle bus with wheelchair lift with the savings we had and hoped we could make this work spreading joy through the excitement and wonder of dinosaurs.

😀🥳Making people smile is now something we can do with an even bigger impact than we could before. We are working to give back to our community however we can with monthly donated visits to nonprofits and donating 10% of our profits back to nonprofits as well.

😵‍💫The first year is always a lot of expenses and then even more unexpected expenses like numerous bus repairs etc. but we want to keep pushing forward to keep bringing wow-filled unique experiences to the amazing people of Missouri.

We are deeply grateful for every client that has hired us since we started this crazy dream. It’s helping keep us going and remembering that the joy we bring makes an impact and that is what we love to do.

🙏🙏🙏Thank you also to our amazing team 😎of part time performers who have worked so hard to bring joy to kids (& adults) everywhere we go. We couldn’t do this without you.

❤️Thank you to our dear friends and supporters in the community who like and share our posts, tell their friends about us, recommend us to event planners/businesses/schools etc., buy a t-shirt and believe in us. It touches our hearts and helps us when we have moments of wondering if we are nuts to keep doing this 😂

💍🥰We made it to our wedding! Our giant dinosaurs, Rexy and Luna Blue, were entertaining for our guests and perfect at posing for photos. They gave us a thrill chasing us through the quad at Stephens College too! 🦕Our groomsmen carried our baby dinosaurs, Eggo, Trixie & Ducky, down the aisle that wore blue velvet skirts made by Jill’s aunt Peggy. 📸Our guests got to enjoy taking silly photos with our giant dinosaurs during the reception and we made sure they helped welcome us during our grand entrance.

❤️We are beyond happy to have found love and formed a beautiful family together and from that family our dinosaurs have been added into the fold to bring more silly fun to our lives and those we get to meet.

😆I have joked that I only started this company to have dinosaurs at our wedding and we did. It was perfectly us and I’m so thankful to everyone who has helped make it possible.

Our hope is we will be able to grow our small business and be able to keep it going to spread more joy, spark more smiles and make a bigger and bigger impact on our community through giving back🙌

We can only do this with your support and what you’ve given us has been humbling and life giving especially on the hard days. We appreciate you all!

🫶Also, isn’t my husband the cutest?!? He has done so much to bring this dream to life including being in the dinosaur suit when it’s crazy hot instead of teaching summer school in an air conditioned building. I love this man so deeply and his two boys are the greatest gift of all.
