Dino Dig











Taking a break from digging to give mom a little "kwiss."

There is a local park called the Riparian preserve. It is a little oasis in the middle of the hot dessert. One of its many attractions is a dinosaur dig. Schools and groups come to dig up dinosaur bones and other fossils. My parents are good friends with the creator/director of the preserve Scott Anderson and Friday evening, Brother Anderson was so kind as to let our girls and his grand kids have their very own dig.

To say Bailey was excited would be an understatement. She loves dinosaurs, she even thinks a few live in her tummy, so to learn more about them and to dig in the dirt to find them was heaven.

We spent a good hour digging around in the dirt to unearth a headrosarous fossil. They even got to use brushes just like the scientists. We also got to look at some replicas of dinosaur eggs, fossils and bones. It was fun to watch the girls get down in the dirt and to see how excited Bailey was when she found the bones.
