Walking Where The Dinos Walked

We have had a busy month and it is only half over. Spring time always puts my husband in the mood to go out and do something. It really doesn't mater where we go or what we do, he just wants to get out go. Definitely no complaints here or from the kids.

April 5th we spent the day with some families from church at Dinosaur Valley State Park. We all had a blast!


We started off by having a potluck picnic, then visiting with each other. After about an hour everyone was ready to head down by the water. Crossing the water was a little cold on the feet but no one seemed to mind, especially the young boys who "accidentally" fell in and tried to stay in.

Some of the girls squealed a little but they were smiling at the same time.

Some of the boys saw a rattlesnake, of course my oldest son was in the group and reached for it right as it rattled. He backed away real quick and the snake went on its way. I know what you are thinking... yes, he has been taught not to touch snakes but he is 15 and was with a group of boys. I guess reason and sensibility are left behind at that point.

Vincent spent most of his time with Scott and I, taking pictures and looking at the tracks.


Sydney and the other girls hung out and talked together.

It was a great way to end the week!

And yes I know there are no pictures of me, I was the one taking them :)
