Our Quick Trip to Glen Rose

This a post that should have been up a long time ago but when I tried the first time blogger wasn't letting me post pics then I forgot. I am finally sitting down to update all our summer adventures.

Back when Shane's parents came to keep Lola the last week of school, we decided to take a quick overnight visit to Glen Rose. We left right after school was out the last day. It was a fun way to start our summer vacation!

We started the trip with dinner at Hollywood and Vine. It is fun restaurant with live bands on weekends and pretty good burgers.

We stayed the night in a hotel which was a first for Lincoln. He loved it! He started out in a bed by himself but it ended up being Shane and Lincoln in one bed and Lola and I in another. Shane and I do not practice the family bed (we all like our own space) so there was little sleep that night by all of us!

Lola loved "talking" and smiling to that cute girl in the mirror.

We went to Dinosaur World first the next morning. It was ok. A walk around area with dinosaur statues with lots of trees and there was no breeze. We went through it rather quickly and checked out the (air conditioned) gift shop where Lincoln picked up a few dinosaurs. 



After Dinosaur World, we decided to try out the safari park. I wasn't sure how Lincoln would handle since he freaks out with any animal that is not in a cage. But he did surprisingly well, at least when he was on the opposite side of the car of any animal near a window and didn't have to get close.

Lola was not so much a fan of the park.

Favorite animal all day was the giraffe. This was the only giraffe that came to the car. They are so neat to see up close. The ostrich is a different story though. It came close too and Lincoln will still talk about the ostrich that ate Pappy's finger.

It was a fun, quick getaway and a great start to summer!
