Last minute trip home


 After working many late nights and a Saturday, Daniel's boss gave him Monday off so we last minute packed up and headed to Moab.  We are so grateful to Grandma and Grandpa for watching the boys so we could go through the Monticello temple.  We don't get to go together as often as I would like and I especially love going to Monticello and being in and seeing the same rooms that we were in on our wedding day.


On Monday Grandma had to work and Grandpa took us on a hike looking for Dinosaur tracks.    I was proud of Chase, he whined a little bit but hiked almost the whole way (3 miles-ish) by himself.
 It helped that Grandpa had lots of snack and treats on the way.  He would keep Chase walking down the trail with "energy sticks" (licorice) and "energy pills" (star bursts).

 The hike had lots of pretty views.


 We didn't find the dinosaur tracks on the hike, but found some on another shorter hike.  The boys were too tired to walk 500 feet up a hill so I ran up and took some pictures.  These are believed to be the tracks of a dinosaur simi9lar to the allosaurus.


 They were pretty big.


These ones were a little hard to make out unless you looked at the standing back.  They were just big holes in the rock, but from a distance they made a pattern of a 4 legged dinosaurs walk.

 This was one of the other kind of dinosaur footprints.  Way bigger than my foot!

Darn it, I miss all the fun! Ok, not ALL of it, but I would have loved that hike!
