Well, unfortunately our Spring Break is going by sooo fast. Day 4 was yard work day. Wayne power washed Kelsie's wooden play structure. It has needed refinishing for quite a while so we decided to do it this week. It needs to dry for a few days before restaining so Wayne decided to do it on Thursday while Kelsie spent the afternoon with her friend Morgan and I planted flowers in the front flower beds. The back flower beds will have to wait until it dries out a little - they were muddy after the water from the power washer drained into them. Friday (day 5) we went to Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose. It was a blast - Morgan was with us so that made it more fun for Kelsie and we also took Bogey. He did pretty well - he is totally exhausted now! We did 2 trails and saw the tracks. Ate lunch at the picnic area and the girls played on the playground. The weather was perfect - a little cool in the morning but warmer in the sunshine in the afternoon. We had a GREAT DAY!! We will definitely go back again. Here are some pics:
Morgan and Kelsie acting scared of the T-Rex.
Look! A dinosaur track - it was really cool.
Kelsie is ready for the hike!
Wayne on top of the big rock.
Kelsie, Morgan and Bogey at the big rock. We stopped to climb for a while.
Our first attempt at crossing the Puluxy River. Wayne checked it out and discovered that there was a wide step between rocks and we needed a log. We found a few and he was trying to place them but they still didn't work. We had to hike upstream to find a new crossover place.
Here we are on top of the big rock - the queens of the mountain!
Our picnic spot with a good view of the playground. Relaxing and fun!

Our second hike - we finally found a crossover spot. As you can see, Bogey had to be carried toward the end of the crossover b/c he kept getting in the water. We all stayed dry both times we went across.

A pretty butterfly we watched for a long time.
Another dinosaur track. We saw a few different ones down in the river bed at the main trail.
Just a photo looking down the river. There wasn't a lot of pretty vegetation yet but the river was peaceful and it was pretty and quiet. We saw little frogs, minnows and the girls collected shells. They wanted to take some rocks but it's not allowed but we did see some neat ones.
