Labor Day Camping at Dinosaur National Monument

We had an awesome Labor Day weekend camping with friends at Dinosaur National Monument in Utah. 
 We spent our first full day hiking!  Kid Picture.....

 Fun spot on the trail!
 Beautiful spot on the trail:-)
 The big boys ended up way ahead....
 .....and found this awesome, steep rock formation!  First one to the top wins!
 After the hike we took in the dinosaur "dump".  It was amazing....hundreds of bones from about 6 different types of dinos that lived in this area.
 This one had the skull and vertebrae all intact!


 Our happy campers were busy with projects the entire weekend.  They found a little ditch area and spent hours playing and building forts!

Day 2 was spent floating down the river on rafts.  It turned into quite the adventure when a big storm blew through while we were on the water.  It covered us in black soot from a recent fire in a grassy area.  We made it to a bridge and took cover just before the hail hit.  I've never seen so many crying children at one time!
