Dinosaur Ridge


Adler has been completely obsessed with dinosaurs recently.  So much that we have many new dino books including n dinosaur encyclopedia, dino figurines and a homemade 6-7 foot long cardboard box ankylosaurus in our kitchen (picture to come later).  A few weeks ago Bri was in Israel for 9 days and we found ourselves with a weekend afternoon with nothing to do.  We took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed 15 minutes west to dinosaur ridge where you can see real dinosaur fossils.  We took a small hike up the ridge and looked at the fossils along the way.  The ridge also has a small museum and a little outdoor area with large dinosaur sculptures.


I told the boys we could either take the hour long bus tour and see more of the fossils than were accessible by our feet or buy something small in the gift shop after the hike.  Adler opted for a hatch a dino and Landon to pan for gems.


Neither boy wanted to bring their sunglasses with us, yet began complaining about how bright it was quickly after we began the hike, hence the lovely facial expression on Adler.
