We had booked the Timpanogos Cave tour this morning, but decided to cancel it last night. It requires a 1 mile strenuous hike to the cave, the 45 minute cave tour then a 1 mile hike back down the mountain. We have been doing a lot of walking and hiking on this trip and Kaiden's legs are beat. Connor and Kaiden both asked to skip it. So, instead the boys went swimming after breakfast and we relaxed all morning. Even our goofy dog, Piper relaxed.
Then after check out we headed for Ogden's George S Eccles Dinosaur Park.
The Dinosaur Park was founded in April 1993. The 8.5 acre park has more than 100 exhibits and realistic, full-sized dinosaur replicas. The sized-to-scale replicas are based on actual fossils and skeletons, and several come to life thanks to robotics, intricate details and a state-of-the-art sound system. There is a museum with real dinosaur fossils, but also an outdoor park with over 100 sculptures, showcasing the dinosaurs’ skin, texture, feathers and details. An on-site museum offers hands-on activities, including an Education Center with an interactive children’s dig of a Stegosaurus.
After the dinosaur park we stopped for more gas and lunch at Costco then ventured on. Just after we cross the Idaho boarder we got caught in a huge wind storm. Luckily there was a rest stop and we pulled over to wait out the storm. While we were waiting we had some fun in the wind.
