ShannonAlbert.com - June 2009

The decreased swelling was especially good news since our school district was out on Monday for a teacher inservice and I really wanted to take the kids to Fossil Rim since Payton hadn't been on the last two visits. She wanted to invite Aubry since Aubry had never been and because she said that she wants to spend as much time with Aubry as she can before she lives farther away.

So off we go to Fossil Rim and had a really great day together. Some pics from our day (Payton took nearly every picture that she isn't in)...











At the halfway point, we always stop at this overlook which contains a restaurant and there's a gift shop close by.


And always take a pic from this spot at the overlook...


The always fascinating pressed penny machine that all the kids got souvenirs from...


While we were touring Fossil Rim, I made a deal with the kids that the girls could sit in the back and Blake would sit up front with me (just while touring since maximum speed is usually 10mph). Blake initially was concerned ("what if the airbag goes off and hurts me?") but then was so excited as he's never sat up front before.


Beautiful view...


More animals...




At the end, we stopped at the Koi Pond to feed the fish and explore the picnic area a bit.
