Thermopolis, WY

One day we decided to take a day trip to Thermopolis, WY.  We had heard that there was a really cool dinosaur museum, so since Tean loves dinosaurs, we went over there and took some of Julie's kids.

 Tean loved seeing all of the dinosaur fossils.
 He wasn't too thrilled about getting his picture taken all the time.
 They had a cool supersaurus.
 Jake decided to try and get eaten by a dinosaur.

 Ziah even had a fun time.
 Ziah loved riding on this mini triceratops.
 While at the dinosaur museum, there was a toy truck there.  Tean, Evie and Noah played for about 30 minutes acting like they were paleontologists and going out to find dinosaur bones and bringing them back.  It was pretty fun to watch.  We were told that the dinosaur museum was the best in the nation, but I wasn't too impressed.  It had a lot of dinosaur bones, but it was really small.

After the museum we decided to go see some petroglyphs while everyone else was on their way to Thermopolis.  There was a lot of construction so we decided to find a different way over there than what the forest service worker told us.  We decided to follow our GPS, and this is where it took us:
 There was water on the other side.  On the other side of the water we could see a road and a gate, but there wasn't a way over to it, so we headed back and went swimming at some hot pools in Thermopolis.
 There was a kiddie water slide that Tean was scared to go down.  Finally he went down with Jake and with his Uncle Joe.

 Ziah even joined in the fun and went down the slide with his daddy.
 He barely even got wet.
 We finally got Tean to go down alone as long as Jake was at the bottom to catch him.
We had a great time at the hot pools.  Tean loved swimming and playing around with his cousins.  After we went out to eat and then headed back to Cody.
