Dinosaur Provincial Park

Our first camping trip of the year was to Dinosaur Provincial Park, not to be confused with Drumheller or Writing On Stone. It's 2 hours from Lethbridge and such a great campground. There was TONS of hiking to do in the badlands. We spent hours hiking with the kids and they were in heaven... even with a bunch of scraped knees. We met the Bennett's there, and it was a great trip. The campsites were HUGE, there was a park, and a cafe where we got ice cream, and we hiked hiked hiked! Michael and I definitely want to take the kids back there again when they are a little older!

 Driving to some of the badlands.

 On a walk to the river. Check out that adorable little boy!

 Ah, this is waaay too cute.

 A giant tree!

 The men checking out the river.

 A reeeeeeeeeally old tree... 

 Mikes giving it a hug. 

 It turned out to be an awesome climbing tree and Lauren rocked it!

 haha, Michael was fearful for his life. 

 We called this "The Brain" 

 Blurry photo but this was at the top of some very big badlands.

 The guys found a little cave and it was really dark but Darcy went in it to see how far it went because he could see a tiny little light and we found it weaved in and out a bit and came out the other side so everyone went through it a few times and the kids just thought it was the coolest.

 Okay, so I actually didn't go through!! It's FREAKY that this is underground, ah!

 Amazing views!! Like nothing I've ever seen. You drive to here and it's all just farmland and then you start to descend a bit and there is just this crazy view that goes on for a long time of bandlands!! Beautiful!

The kids watching the Incredibles in the trailer. Ty loved it!

 Love this view!

 It was windy and rainy when we were leaving.. Good timing!

 Ty talks about this trip all the time and he calls it Dinosaur Avisual Park.... haha
