Friday, November 20th we left here and drove through the night and the next day, getting to Vernal, UT Saturday afternoon (about a 20 hour drive!). We checked into our hotel, the Weston Plaza, (formerly owned by Kenny's grandpa, so we stayed there for free!!!) and we all had a little nap. Then we went over to the Dinosaur Museum that they have there and had a great time, especially Tyler, looking at all the dinosaurs! We grabbed some Cafe Rio for dinner (Ty got Wendy's) and headed back to the hotel. After dinner we went swimming, which again Tyler absolutely loved. This time we borrowed arm floaties from our friends before leaving so it went a lot better than last time. He was so much more independent just swimming around and jumping in and climbing out by himself without a problem. He was much happier, and so were we. Brynlee loves pools too and just splashes like crazy. We were all completely worn out that night and slept very soundly. Sunday we found a church and decided to go at 9 since that's pretty standard. We were right, and got to go to church there, and it was right next to the Vernal Temple, which is very old and very cool. The day before I had gone to Wal-mart and picked up some microwaveable meals so that's what we ate all of Sunday so that we didn't have to buy any food.
After church, lunch, and a nap, we headed over to McConkie Ranch and looked at the Petroglyphs that are there. It was pretty darn cool. The kids were asleep in the car so kenny and I went and saw the first of them by ourselves. then I went back to the car in case they woke up, and Kenny went and saw some more a little ways over. There are certainly a lot of neat things in Vernal.
Ever since this museum he's been on a real dinosaur kick!
Bryn being cute in the hotel
Vernal Temple. Built in 1907, and some of it was reconstructed in 1997.
Do you see the drawings on the rocks? Cool huh?! I wish I could interpret them to know what they were talking about.
