Dino tracks and taranulas!

We headed to southern Utah last weekend.  Fall is in the air we wanted to get a camp trip in before it gets too cold.  We spent one night in Torrey and 2 nights camping in Kodachrome Basin campground and we had a blast.  The kids were great, the weather was perfect, the hikes were just right and we wished we had more time to stay and play.  It's great to feel like we are finally able to do things like that without an overwhelming amount of hassle.  We are past nursing babies that wake every few hours.  Both kids can walk and explore.  They are even happy playing together every so often.  I feel like it just keeps getting better!

We explored a place called Twenty Mile Wash Trackway.  Several hundred dinosaur tracks are visible on the rocks.  It's a super cool place to check out if you happen to be down Hole in the Rock Road near Escalante.  Miles is comparing his print to one left by a therapod millions of years ago.  It still blows my mind that creatures like that really existed.  To see the tracks and know they hung out in the very spot we were standing is pretty awesome. 

They were looking at ants on dinosaur tracks.  Jeff called them his little paleontologists.  My sister said it looks like they are in hiking time out!

I love this shot Jeff took of Iris

Yep, Miles was pretty excited.
