Glen Rose Trip

We took a few days during our spring break to take trip to Glen Rose to see dinosaurs and other wild animals.  We went to Dinosaur World and saw life-sized statues of dinosaurs.  The kids also got to "dig" for fossils.  It was really just a big sandbox but they enjoyed looking at all they found.

Sophie really wanted to go into the roped areas, especially when there were replicas of baby dinosaurs.  In her words, she just "wants to pet them".

On our way back to the hotel, we stopped to check out a real fossil dig.  It had been discovered a couple of years ago behind a motel in a ravine.  After telling you a little about it and explaining what to do, you could look for fossils yourself.  Sophie and Logan used small brushes to sweep away the dirt and ended up finding a fossil of a mussel that we got to keep.

The next day we went to Fossil Rim Animal Safari.  I think Paul and I enjoyed it even more than the kids.  We were able to feed animals from the car, including giraffes who ate through our sun roof.  Seeing dozens of giraffes just roaming around was so amazing!



We had a great time and it was very nice to spend time together as a family.
