Dinosaur valley


Saturday we went on an adventure to find dinosaur footprint fossils. But first we went to a children's show at a theatre in Cleburne that my relatives are involved with. It was pretty cute.

Then we headed down to Dinosaur Valley and checked out the large dinosaur statues first. Next we had some fun in the gift shop and then finally went to start looking at the footprint fossils.

Ummm, did someone forget to find out that swimsuits were basically required? Yeah, that would be me. First fossil location required crossing a river on slippery rocks to get to the site. We made it across but on the way back, L slipped into the river and got soaked. Yeesh.

This photo is the best I have of the fossils, most of which were underwater. They were neat, though not as exciting as a dinosaur bone dig site would be apparently. Unfortunately, I had not made that distinction clear before we got to the park and L was a bit disappointed. Something to aim for I guess!

If there's anything better than dinosaur footprints, it's got to be dinosaur footprints in a river!!!
