We started day to at the Dinosaur Track Museum. This is the blurb on their website, "See thousands of fossilized dinosaur footprints at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm. This rare site preserves a 200 million year old lake ecosystem that includes dinosaurs, fishes, plants, sedimentary structures, and other animals."
With that being said...it was kind of neat, but kind of boring. Yes - there were fossilized footprints. Old people. An overpriced souvenir shop. And a tiny outdoor area for kids to dig for fossils.
The tracks behind the kids I guess is the largeest preserved track known. So, that's kind of cool.
I could never make it as paleontologist. But I'd look darling in the hat.
After that adventure we headed to Dixie rock. It's fabulous red rock where you can climb all over the place! The kids had a blast.
Someone had carved a B inside of a heart. Taylor said, "Look mom! Someone made this for you!"
Rylee was having a rough day. She had tripped a couple of times, and fallen once. BUT what was amazing is we saw her first grade teacher hiking around too! What are the odds of that!
....so we had already been to the Dinosaur track museum and to Dixie rock. That's enough, right? WRONG!! So we headed back to the hotel room to eat some lunchie and to have the kids change into their swim sutff. We were headed to the Children's Museum!
I love this museum! We went to the depths of the ocean....to mining country....back to the land of the dinosaurs and the science room is one of my favorites!!
The kids could've spent all day in the grocery store room. The deli section you can make sandwiches and pizzas. Weigh out and sort fruits and vegetables in the produce department. Load your cart with all sorts of goodies and then check out with working cash registers. Adulting is the best!
Want to know one of the best hings about the Cihldren's museum?? It's right next to the fabulous splash pad. Not having to load up 7 people into blue steel (the mini van) is always a total bonus!
Before we got soaking we, there is a darling carousal next to the splash pad. So we took advantage of that too!
They are mine...yep, all of them.
Luke is a lot braver than you might think he might be. He's an emotional little fella...but if he knows mom is right there, he's pretty brave!
My other son is finding his sense of humor. He thought he was quite hilarious pretending that one of the water streams was actually a pee stream. He was cracking himself (and his parents) up.
It was actually a pretty perfect day. I love those.
As we were getting ready to go change for dinner we passed this painting and Caleb said, "Look!! We did all of those things today!" That is because your mom is awesome Caleb. Please don't ever forget that.

Wow that looks like a busy day! That children's museum looks fabulous. Caleb pretend peeing is funny. So fun. Such cute pictures and good memories.
Love the pictures. I felt like I was right there. Caleb's pretending to pee face made me laugh out loud. Good Job mom!
And if your kids ever try to forget what an awesome mom they have we will remind them quickly. :-) hahahahah Casey looks like a gold hunter.
