We have a family tradition of visiting temples when we go on road trips and I have been wanting to get to some of the more rural temples for a few years now. This year was perfect because we didn't end up taking time to go to Yellowstone and I had no baby. We decided to make a weekend of it and visit the Vernal, Utah Temple, the natural history museum in town and Dinosaur National Monument.
Dinosaur National Monument
Touching a real dinosaur fossil at the quarry.
Rigby, Adeline and Reuben completed some booklets to earn a wooden pin from the park rangers.
Mom & Dad at the quarry.
This "dino bone bench" made for a great picture place. Smile for the millionth time kids!
Swimming at the Hotel
Always get a hotel with a pool. It helps tire the kids out so they go to sleep better!
Utah Field House of Natural History
All the younger kids LOVED these plastic dinosaurs. In fact, Reuben and Timothy had a nice little screaming and wrestling match over them.
Reuben had a major melt down because he had to share the package of dinosaurs with Tim (trips are tough with him because of his food issues). So while I took a kicking and screaming 5 year old out to the car, my dad waited with the other kids outside the museum.
The "Utah Raptor"
One of Tim's nicknames is T-Rex, so I thought this would be an appropriate photo!
The kids and I with my favorite dinosaur-a stegosaurus.
