Before another little person joins our family in July, we wanted to go on a fun family vacation, so during spring break we drove to Texas. I was worried about how the kids would handle being in the car for 20 hours, but they were FABULOUS! It ended up being a great trip and it was so nice to see my brother and his family and Mark's sister and her family.
We went to Dinosaur Park where we got to see real dinosaur footprints. They were underwater, so my pictures of the actual footprints didn't turn out very good, but Gavin and Cailyn (my neice) had a fun time crossing the river to get to them.
Megan loved digging for her own fossils in the sand.
We went on a short walk that had several life sized replicas of dinosaurs.
Gavin is fascinated with dinosaurs right now, so he especially loved this part of the trip. He tells me, "Mom, I know everything about dinosaurs."
T-rex got hungry when the kids got too close!
Mark fighting for his life.
Gavin and cousin Jessica.
It was so nice to enjoy 80 degree weather and shorts. We came home to snow!
We spent a day the the Fort Worth Zoo. Here Uncle Jason, Aunt Mindi, and Megan are watching the penguins.
My little Megan is getting so big! Her shirt says, "I didn't ask to be a princess, but if the crown fits..."
The flamingos were beautiful!
When we first got to the lion he was asleep and there was an elementary school class trying very hard to wake him up. After the class left the lion woke up and we got to hear him roar. It was very powerful!
This bird's wing span was huge and he was kind enough to pose for a few pictures.
Gavin and Cailyn played so well together.
We got to pet this nice armadillo. Now Gavin's favorite super hero power is "Armadillo power with super strong armour." Stay tuned for more pictures of our trip.
