Not this kind...
This kind...
To mark the end of the summer, we took off to go camping, last week. We went here...
I had never been, but Jake went as a kid. He kept telling me how cool the real dinosaur tracks were, but, I was having a hard time getting excited about it.
I pictured this one fake looking dinosaur track, preserved, or casted, in a display case. That thought didn't impress me.
Boy was I wrong.
It was flippin' cool. A lot of Texas has had a drought this summer, so the river was pretty well dried up, in many spots. We hiked along the river bed, and these dinosaur tracks can be found throughout.
It's pretty incredible.
The boys were more into catching frogs...
However, Jake, Lily, and I were fascinated by the fossils. These tracks are millions of years old, and they are perfectly preserved. It's a state park, and it's tucked away from any sign of civilization, so, as we walked the riverbed, and saw the tracks, surrounded by nature...I half expected to see one of those dinosaurs to come bounding through the trees.
Thankfully, they didn't...the only dinosaurs we saw, were made of plaster.
It was a typical camping trip. We ate some of these...
The boys had a blast doing this...
Until we saw one of these...
We had a grand ole time. It was a great way to end a wild summer!
