Dinosaur Land

This weekend we went on the first Murray/Walter/Brown Family vacation since we've been married. Kyle randomly picked the location: Vernal. And it was really fun.

We first hit up the Dinosaur museum.
Kyle didn't quite trust the museum. If you can't read it, above says: "Ginkgo tree: Never loses its leaves".

The opposite side says: "Ginkgo tree: Loses its leaves in autumn".

Connor, Elise, and Jessica (below) having fun being scientists.

Kyle and Kevin....I have no words for their beauty.

Kyle and Kevin did a modeling shoot with all the dinosaurs outside. Here's just a couple of them.

The fabulousaurus.

Erinn broke the rules and got off the path for this family picture. I think Connor was confused when he wasn't allowed off the path for the rest of the time at the museum.

Kyle's mom and grandma.

The challenge of the trip was to cut this log in half. Jessica, Kyle and Kevin all tried at it. Kevin was the one to get the glory for it though.

Kyle's step-dad, Chuck, was the pony express on his bike and delivered things between our two campsites on his collapsable bike.

Grammy Cloe and Kyle chillin'. Kyle's hanging out with Kevin's Beanee Weanees that he got from one of the five 7-11s in Vernal.

We hiked to some petroglyphs and I thought I was going to die. Kyle found this one after I gave up and went to the car. He said this one was bigger than he is.

Jess found this sign.

Kyle, who yells at me for wearing pajamas to Walmart, decided that this was an acceptable outfit for going to 7-11. Yes, those sweats have elastic on the bottom.

After everyone was going home Kyle, Jess and I went on one last adventure to the Quarry. But the Quarry was closed so we went near it.

This was the coolest of the THREE bones we saw in the mountainside. This is five vertabraes of a real life Dinosaur.

The hike to the bones was all of 3/4 of a mile. But I had to rest. Kyle shaded me, because he is that great of a husband :) But unfortunately this Alligator fossil bit off his head at the end of the adventure.
