Today I took the boys on a field trip to Glen Rose, Texas, home of Dinosaur Valley State Park and Dinosaur World. (For those of you from Texas, I know Fossil Rim is there too, but we didn’t have time. We are planning a fall trip.)
The boys were super excited and enjoyed walking around Dinosaur World, looking, reading and learning about different types of dinosaurs. We will be making a book in the next couple of weeks from our trip. Thing 1 made sure I took pictures of every dinosaur.
Once we finished the dinosaur walk. The boys enjoyed a simple fossil dig, where they were able to keep a couple of their finds.
After we finished at Dinosaur World, we headed to Dinosaur Valley State Park to look at real dinosaur tracks and fossils.
However, the boys really enjoyed playing in the river, even though it was a little cold.
