Fossil Gorge

B had to work on Memorial Day so I knew I had to do something fun with the kids and get out of the house. The weather was gorgeous so we headed to the Fossil Gorge in the morning. We saw some new things there, but they weren't fossils! Because of all the rain we have had there were quite a few pools of water so we saw tadpoles, a frog, and TWO SNAKES! We had a great time and I even thought to use the timer on my camera to snap a picture of me with the kids. After tromping around the gorge we walked the Veterans Memorial trail (very fitting) and watched some birds on the feeders at the bird blind. The gnats were horrible but it was still fun to watch the woodpeckers, some squirrels, and another bird I have yet to identify. Luke declared that when we got home we were to have a lazy afternoon, which we did. :-)
