Dinosaur National Monument, CO -Day 14

Okay, so I forgot to include information to this day. Here you go!

We thought it would be fun to go to Dinosaur National Monument. The visitors' center has been condemned, but they have a temporary one set up. From there they take you on a hike to see fossils in the rocks. Pretty cool stuff. The funny thing is that they have found 4 full dinosaurs, 2 of which are on display in Washington DC in the Smithsonian, which we have seen many times. I guess we could have just stayed home.

I don't know why this picture is sideways, but Rebekah loved running around and grabbing the bronze bones.

Cool rock formation.

The most common fossil -pink clam shells. All those other little dents are also clam shell fossils.

This picture also came out sideways. On our hike they had these lovely painted arrows to help you find the fossils. I think this one was a leg bone.

Emma made friends with these boys. Check out all their Junior Ranger badges!! It also helped us find them when they ran off ahead of us, we just had to look for the flashes of light.

Crazy face rock.
