Thursday in Wyoming

Thursday morning we woke up in Thermopolis, ate breakfast and then went to the Dinosaur Museum. It was surprisingly well stocked with fossils and bones, however it still only took 40 minutes to see it. Daniel, Sean and Dave had the most fun.

We then headed south to Dave's Uncle Phil and Aunt Bonnie's ranch. The kids had a blast riding around on Phil and Bonnie's horse drawn wagon on their property, seeing the scenery, cows and horses.

We had dinner there and feasted on homegrown steaks. The kids all fell deep asleep on the ride back to our hotel in Lander.


Sean and Daniel "read" about Anklosauras dinosaurs - Dave's favorite

After getting rather lost, our traveling party arrived at Dave's Uncle Phil and Aunt Bonnie's ranch. Here they are driving their horse drawn wagon to meet us at the gate.

After we got everybody to the house we all went for a 2 hour ride on the horse drawn carriage. Here is Bonnie holding Daniel at the front of the carriage while Phil drives.

Here Bonnie sits with Barb, Anida, Daniel, Sean and Rachel on the back of the wagon.


Sean takes a turn up front in his snow/mud boots.


Rachel reaches out to pet a horse while Anida, Bonnie and Daniel look on.

Daniel and Sean look like they are doing something they should not be doing...

Sean admires the mounted moose heads in the living room. I think moose is now one of his favorite words.
