We fell in love with Glen Rose, Texas!
On December 29th we packed up our car for a daytrip to Glen Rose. We have been talking about it for a year and finally had a chance to make it happen. We wanted to take Caleb to Fossill Rim and decided to see what else was in the vicinity. There is a lot! We chose Dinosaur World as our other destination and loaded into the car! We left the house at 8:30am (got home at 8pm), drove two hours and spent the entire day exploring a beautiful part of our home-state!
Our first stop was Dinosaur World and you could just feel Caleb's excitement as we got closer and closer. There was a lot more of "are we there yet" than on any previous trip...it was so much fun!
Dinosaur World is awesome! They have a walking trail with over 100 life-sized dinosaurs along the path. It was really neat to see how big and small they really were! Some of them left Caleb speechless with joy and others left him somewhat cuddly and unsure. It was a really beautiful day and the walk took about 30 minutes, so it was a great way to stretch our legs. At the end of the walk he got to play in dino-themed park and then dig for fossills (he got to keep three treasures). They also have a small museum with dinosaur eggs and claws and whatnot. Caleb didn't like that building since it was dark and had a strange noise from somesort of unseen vent. It was short.
Caleb's favourite part of Dinosaur World? Probably the pressed coin he got on the way out. Yup. He loves his coins.
After a nice lunch at a local barbeque joint, we headed off to Fossill Rim....more on that later...
Caleb might have stayed here the whole day...he just didn't know what was literally around the corner.
(Caleb took this one all by himself! He is quite an accomplished photographer!)
This is part of a whole series of photos that Caleb and Brian cooked up. We laughed, alot!
Do you see the deer?
We were checking out the giant dino when we heard leaves and twigs breaking. It really made us all jump! Then two deer wondered over for lunch. We spent a lot of time watching them and giggling at the whole scene!
Fancy photography by Daddy. He was laid out flat on the path!
CALEB'S FAVOURITE DINOSAUR WAS THERE!
MAIASAURA!
The dude was thrilled. Really thrilled!
Um. Boys. Don't look now...
He looks happy because he was happy. You have to go to Dinosaur World!
His treasures!
Not too sure about this part. But that marked the end of Dinosaurs. Now onto zebras....
