The Tent and the Kronosaurus

We have this great game that Salem made up, and it involves putting up a tent in the living room. This act alone will invariably erupt any child's imagination, and it's very cool to see where my guy takes this one. 

It's a ship of some kind. You have to sit far away from the opening or a menacing kronosaurus will attack you. Occasionally, he leaves us alone long enough to explore the waters with our scuba gear, but he eventually he always comes back. Sometimes you can hear him smacking against the hull off our vessel and the walls shake. 

We load our ship with a crew made of Dinosaur Friend, Other Dinosaur Friend, Barfer, Slime, JJ, Trash Panda, Alpaca, a few more, and once in a while there is a terrible storm. The blowing gales and harsh rains shipwreck our boat onto the shores of a lone island, the couch. Salem achieves this by physically rolling from the floor onto the center of the couch taking the flailing tent with him upwards as he tumbles. 

It's fantastic. We have to build shelter for JJ, who is just a baby that needs food. We eventually build life rafts to aide our damaged vessel as we prepare it to once again be seaworthy. 

And, repeat.
