Dinosaur Tracks

We wanted to get out and enjoy the weather on the holiday and go on a hike to the dinosaur tracks in Government canyon.  It turned out to be a pretty big hike, almost 7 miles.  Brayden invited Sam Thrower to come along.  It was neat to see the dinosaur tracks.  They were roped off, so we had to see them from a distance.  There was a volunteer there sharing information about the dinosaurs that made the tracks and about how long ago.  It was fun to see.  Matt carried Asher on a pack.  Matt went up ahead and tried to catch up with the older kids.  I stayed back with the Julia and Blake.  They started dieing and getting worn out.  Julia was wishing that she had wings and could fly back to the car.  We took a few breaks.

Savannah Loop

President's Day Weekend we decided to take advantage of living so close to Government Canyon and went on a short hike on Saturday.  It turned out everyone else also decided it was a great weekend to go.  
We went on a short 2+ mile walk called the Savannah Loop.  It was flat and very easy.  The kids had a fun time climbing on a log that went over the path.  Asher did pretty well in the hiking pack.
