Dinosaur Monument

Tuesday, May 27, 2014

Well the boys have a favorite! Dinosaur Monument is a boy’s dream! Both Mike and the boys were beside themselves. It is a huge dinosaur fossil quarry…and I mean huge! They have processed most of them but left a huge mound of them still imbedded into the earth for people to see. They even left a real skull. Along the bottom of the quarry and along the trail there are a few huge femur bones that you can actually touch. It’s awesome!!!

I have to say traveling with Mike is a little different than Nana. Nana is a doer and getter doner. Mike, not so much. He is more of the meandering type. Although, I can walk for miles listening to him imitate a dinosaur hunter!!!

The area around here is beautiful! There are two rivers with campgrounds within them. Rafters come in and out all day long and the scenery is spectacular. The weather even entertained us! The boys got to experience their first thunderstorm. It was a little scary but exciting too and it even gave us a huge rainbow when it was over! All in All…..Awesome!IMG_1650
