Safaris and Dinosaurs

We went to Fossil Rim Safari Park in Glen Rose, TX, in July. The boys had a great time feeding the deer and other animals. It was a lot of fun to drive through the park and get to see the animals up close.

I think the boy's favorite animal was the ostrich. It was scary and funny at the same time. Even now, if you say "ostrich" to Ryan, he will tell you all about it! He'll say, "Osich, osich. Bam! Bam! Bam!" Click the link below to see our Ostrich Encounter!


The following link is a video of Ryan talking about the ostrich, showing his Incredible Hulk impersonation and saying, "Thank you." You can't see it very well on the video, but when he does his Incredible Hulk, his whole body shakes!! He's been doing that since he was just over a year old.


We also went to Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose. They have actual dinosaur footprints in a riverbed. It had rained so much that we only got to see a couple footprints in the riverbed. The park had excavated this chunk of the riverbed that had footprints in it, though, so we got to see how big they really were! They also had a life-size T-Rex and Brontasaurus. It was very cool and the kids had a great time. They also have a great campsite that we plan on going back to!
