Prehistoric Mother's Day

Mother's Day weekend was our first camping trip of the summer.  We headed to Vernal, Utah - Dinosaur National Monument - for 2 nights.  The boys always sleep like angels when camping and Chad suggested that we setup a tent in the backyard on days we wanted them to sleep in.  Of course, it also may have been the numerous hikes we took and constantly keeping them busy.  

We saw a lot of dinosaur bones and loved the newly reopened quarry and visitor's center.  We also took some hikes around the area to amazing petroglyphs and a dinosaur causeway (hundreds of footprints) that was on the end of a reservoir.  It was a great weekend and everyone was in great spirits, making for a perfect Mother's Day.
