Florrisant Fossil Beds






Today we went to the Fossil Beds National Park. I was a little worried when we got there because it is not really in the trees and you have to walk quite a bit. The visitors center had an activity book for the kids to complete while we were out walking which helped make the kids a little more excited. Cole was the one who wanted to go and see the fossils and the others were not SO excited about the idea, but we went and enjoyed our selves anyways. We went for just over a mile hike and everyone did pretty good until the last bit where Jake continuously reminded me that he "was too tired" and he "didn't want to walk no more". All in all the weather was great, we spent good time together, and the kids earned their "junior ranger" badges.
