Dinosaur Weekend Part I

Wes and I had to work all last week during Mia's spring break.  We thought it would be fun the weekend before school started back to take the kids somewhere.  We decided to take a trip to Glen Rose, TX for a couple of days.  It's close to the Metroplex, so the drive was so fast!  The reason we chose Glen Rose is because of dinosaurs.  There are several sites in the area where fossilized dinosaur footprints have been uncovered in the riverbeds.  It's pretty amazing to see.  We showed them to the kids, but to be honest, they enjoyed wading in the water the most.  :)

Glen Rose also has a place called Dinosaur World that has all things dino.  There was a path through the property that had tons of life-sized dinosaurs.  Mia and Quinn loved it and ran from one to the next.  Mia tried to read some of the names and descriptions to Quinn.  He was more interested in practicing his T-Rex roar.  They also got to dig for fossils and pan for gems.

There is also a drive through safari that Mia and Quinn liked.  More about that in the next post!
