On the first part of our big family trip, we met my parents and my brother and his family in Glen Rose, Texas. Heard of it? I doubt it. It has a population of about 6,000. It does however offer two neat attractions.The first place we visited was the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. You can either drive in your car or take a guided tour in an open-air safari truck to see all kinds of animals-giraffes, zebras, emus, deer and much more. We opted to drive our own car since it was a pretty hot day and it was cheaper!! You are able to feed the animals that come up to your car and there were plenty that wanted to eat. You could even feed the giraffe out of your hand since they don't have teeth. It was a pretty cool experience.
The second place we toured was called Dinosaur World. There are 100 life-size dinosaur, a fossil dig and museum. It was a super hot day, so we walked quickly through the dinosaur area. I mean if you've seen one dinosaur you've seen them all, right!
After our weekend in Glen Rose, we all packed up to head to Austin for more fun in the pool and on the lake!

Never heard of that place but would love to visit there! The kids would love the dinosaurs (we loved Trex Cafe at Disney) and they would love seeing those animals up close! Glad y'all enjoyed a little get away!
Sounds like a fun trip! Sara, I just cannot believe how much your two precious kiddos have grown. It has been WAY too long since we saw you guys. Sigh.
I know where Glen Rose is! We have been thinking about doing that same trip, maybe we will wait until it is not so miserably hot!!
