Day 3: Dinosaur National Monument

On the third day of our adventure we were in Vernal, Utah, and we drove over to Dinosaur National Monument.  This is Zev touching an actual dinosaur bone. 

Tahl reading something cool. 

The main center was amazing with hundreds of dinosaur bones all in one place where they were swept together by a river and deposited all mixed up.


Isaac was interested, but it was a little too much reading and downtime for him. 

Here are Isaac and Tahl touching the big bone. 



The boys got sworn in again at this park.  They even got junior paleontologist badges. 

Here is Isaac with his badge.

May got lots more quality mommy snuggles and sleep. 

Then we went on a hike where you can see some bones still in the rock. 

Here the guys are finding bones. 




Tahl really wanted me to take a picture of all these clams. 



Another hand holding spot. 

It his hard to tell here, but there is an attached vertebrae in this picture. 

We saw some awesome ancient petroglyphs at this site. 





Then we went on a hike to a box canyon. 


It is hard to tell, but the canyon is on three sides of us.  This land was previously given to a homesteader who used the box canyon to hold in her livestock. 


The homesteader was named Josie, and on the map it says this is "Josie's cabin."  Isaac had to take a picture here since his best friend is named Josie. 


After we finished up here we started our drive to Park City to spend the rest of the week with Ari's family.
