Dinosaur Land

 

We went on a little vacation with cousins down to Dinosaur Land.  It was so nice to get away and we had such a good time!

Our first stop was Dinosaur National Monument.  We did some hiking, and also saw the main attraction, a wall of rock completely full of dinosaur bones.  This was one of my favorite things we did.  It was pretty amazing to see so many fossils in one place.

They even had a spot where you could touch one of the dinosaur bones, it was pretty awesome!

I think the highlight of the day for the boys was when Dave caught a lizard for them.  Will was in heaven when Dave let him hold it.  There were lizards all over the place there and the boys had so much fun trying to spot them.

We also went to a Dinosaur Museum.  Snapping this picture was fun for me.  There is a picture of my brother and I standing in front of this exact dinosaur when I was a kid, so it was great to take my boys to see it.

The kiddos loved digging for dinosaur bones and playing with cousins.

We also made a stop at Fantasy Canyon.  It was pretty amazing.  The rock formations were so interesting and different.  It was a great place to explore.

Ben loved playing in the sand and Will was thrilled to be able to have so many places to climb.

We also did a lot of hiking.  There were an incredible amount of petroglyphs to see.

Another of my favorite moments was hiking to see some dinosaur footprints.  They were right next to a beautiful lake and there were so many of them. It was incredible to think that they have lasted so many years.

Although we did so many fun things, the boys say their favorite part was playing in the pool at the hotel ha ha! We certainly made some fun memories, I can't wait for our next adventure!
