This Is Us

On our drive to Vernal Friday we saw a turn off for dinosaur tracks. We talked with Dieter and Colleen and they thought it would be fun to go see them. We looked it up and it said it was a kid-friendly hike and not to far away from us. So Sunday we drove to where it was, made sure we had lots of water, and started the hike. It was kind of a harder hike than we thought a kid-friendly hike should be, and it was long, but all the kids did great and walked the whole time. Colleen ended up stopping and waiting in a shady spot for us to come back. This cute little lizard 🦎 was sleeping in the shade. It let me get really close and then looked at me so I could take a picture. Cute little guy! Then at the end of the hike, where the tracks are, is at Red Fleet Reservoir. The kids were so excited to see the water, that they all jumped in. I stayed right by them since we didn’t have their life jackets, but Nick, Dieter, and Brichette saw the tracks.

  Saturday we got up, had breakfast, got ready and headed out to find somewhere to kayak and fish. First we went to Moose Ponds, but there wasn’t much of a shore to sit on. So we decided to find another place. We drove back by our camp and went to West Green Lake. When we arrived we saw some big horn sheep! There still wasn’t much of a shore, but we decided to try it out. They had a little doc with benches.  We took our canopy and set it up by some trees for extra shade, but it was kind of far away from the water. The kids got in and played. They said the bottom was soft and mushy, but they played for a little while. Then they got out and we ate lunch. After lunch they decided that didn’t want to get back in the water, and we decided to head to Flaming Gorge. Here is them in the Green Lake: This Damselfly landed on Tyler. He was so happy! We found a nice spot at Flaming Gorge (despite the people next to us taking baths. 🙄). The kids played and kayaked, and we had lots of fun!...
