Fossil Rim

Last Saturday we decided to take the kids somewhere. Since Joel had his surgery we have been stuck in the house. So we needed to get the kids out before they got to bored an destroyed my house. So we kinda came up with Fossil Rim in a spur of the moment thing. An I am so glad we did. We headed out but 10 or so. Nana & Pawpaw Carlos decided to join us, so both the kids could see. One riding with us an one riding with them. So we headed out, we were alittle ahead of Paula an Carlos getting there so we decided to take our time. We passed this little tip pee an cabin type thing an decided to stop an let them walk around an see the neat stuff. I am glad we did they enjoyed that. I would love to do that more often. Getting a lit education an seeing new things. We got back in the car an headed to Fossil Rim by this time they were not far behind us. We arrived an let the kids walk around til they got there. In the entrance they had dinosaurs.

So we bought our tickets an got food an off we went. We had Addi for the first half. I think the kids just loved being able to sit with us an not their car seats. As we drive in the entrance it starts to pour (thank goodness you drive your car around), an the first animals we come to start going off under the trees. I thought it would be like this the whole way. But it rained for maybe 5 Min's an then stopped an the animals start coming out again. This was the neatest thing I had ever seen was these animals coming up to your car an they were the cutest things.
(I was a little afraid of the ostrich they are not the nicest animals). So we see deer, billy goats, more deer. emu's. All different things an Addi was enjoying feeding them. She said it tickled every time one would eat out of her hand.



(me an my Addi girl. Her eyes look beautiful in this pic. Like her Great Grandpa Garrett an Great Grandma Gigliotta).


This was my favorite part along with Addi the zebras an the giraffe's. Even though the zebras scared me a bit. It was so neat to be up so close an personal with these animals.


(an no the zebra didnt do that to my mirror my husband did! lol)
Halfway thru the trail is a place where they have a petting zoo an gift shop an place to have lunch. We got out an went to the petting zoo. They had goats, two turtles an birds u could see. But the kids loved the goats. I think I might have to give in an move to the country so these kids can have a farm. They LOVE animals!


We ate some lunch an talked to a really nice man. That told us everything about this place. An then headed back down with Landon to see more animals. Landon loved the fact that he could drive with his daddy!



The place was really neat. We def. enjoyed our day out there. We are thinking bout getting season passes there its so neat. An the kids loved it. It rained but it was still alot of FUN!!!
