And Finally, Glen Rose- Part 3

Sunday morning we woke up, ate breakfast, and made it to our next adventure just in time.  Fossil Rim is a drive through zoo where the animals come right up to your car and you can feed them.  I thought Mason might freak out but he didn't! He loved throwing out the food but he wouldn't keep it in his hand long enough for the animals to eat from it (imagine that).  The girls had a blast too!

 Overall it was a fantastic trip and I am all ready to plan the next one.  Oh how I love my little family!

These guys were a little scary looking so the windows stayed up!

The deer liked to block the road.

No, she did not stay that way

The giraffe didn't want our food that day

Zebra's are Reese's favorite zoo animal.

Glen Rose- Part 2

The last part of our first day was spent at Dinosaur Valley State Park.  Here you can find actual Dinosaur tracks and see where they walked the earth.  Even though there were only a few tracks that we could see, we still had a fun time.  Kaylie, out little history buff, said that this was her favorite part of the trip. 

Love them!

I'm sure Mike can pronounce those eloquently but I sure cannot!

They love their Dad

Love them too!

Big but still way smaller than actual size.  Amazing.

This is a beautiful part of Texas.

Our little trip to Glen Rose- Part 1

Over Labor Day weekend we decided to take a short trip to Glen Rose.  I had heard so much about this place that I figured it would be a great place to take the kids.  After doing a bunch of research I had a plan in place and we headed out Saturday morning.  Our first stop was a place called Big Rocks.  When we first got there I was a little disappointed but once the kids got going they, and Ryan, had a blast!  These rocks were huge and you could run and jump over them.  There is also a stream that you can wade in but due the drought it was too low to get in.  I was quite amused at what a daredevil little Reese was.  She had no fear!

 

After Big Rocks, we checked into the hotel and then got ready to do a little swimming! And I can finally say that after 3 summers of swim lessons, the girls can now swim the length of the pool!
