Aliante Dinosaur Park

The Monday after conference, a bunch of us decided to take the long drive out to the Dinosaur park at Aliante. It was great. Clint was able to come cause he had that day off, and Dia and Britney and their kids came out, and Bec with her kids. The coolest part was being able to meet my friend, Shallan Covington (White), out there too (she just lives 5 minutes away from the park). I haven't seen her in a long time. We went to school together and used to live by eachother in the same neighborhood. She brought her 4 adorable kids too and so it was crazy fun for everyone, mixed in with some "little girl drama", and a nazi park police officer lady. haha. Bec put it best when she said, "well, i guess it's a good thing she really loves her job." haha. She told the kids they were graffiti-ing (I know i can't spell) when they did a little drawing on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk. And then when the kids were putting their feet in the duck lake and throwing dirt in there too, she was sure to get after them and then come tell us we need to watch our kids better (we were watching them do it. haha). After that we were pegged and she had her eyes on us the rest of the time. :) I loved getting caught up with Shallan on life and things, and also having everyone else out there with us (especially Dia, since she's not afraid to speak her mind... not even to the crazy police lady) :)

It's a bummer that I didn't think to take the camera out until the end of the outing, but here's some fun pics!
