Fossil Rim

After touring Dinosaur State Park Kevin, Cassidy and I went to stay at Fossil Rim Lodge. We had dinner at the Lodge Thursday night. Then, Friday morning we took a guided tour through Fossil Rim. The tour took about three and half hours. Normally, it takes about a hour and half, but due to the huge Spring Break crowd the tour took a lot longer. During the week of spring break if you drive through in your car the tour would have taken between five and six hours. They were averaging 700 cars a day. It was a great trip, but I would recommend going on a weekend other than Spring Break! Kevin and Cassidy next to a large wind chime

Giraffe
One of the highlights of the tour was feeding the giraffe! She ate right out of Cassidy and Kevin's hand! It was really neat to watch!

I know this was a huge post. We took so many pictures on this trip. Kevin and I are ready to go back to work so we can both rest. It was a very busy spring break!
