We chased down the sun in St.George this weekend. We chased down the sun in St.George this weekend. It was hot and glorious! Hopefully that will tie me over until summer. 🌞

Logan wore himself out in the first hour running f Logan wore himself out in the first hour running from dinosaur to dinosaur at @jurassicquest today! These life size automated dinosaurs are such a cool experience!

If you want to hit the Lethbridge show this weekend, use the code ‘RACHEL10’ to save 10%! 

Not shown here are the baby animals and trainers, dinosaur rides, bouncy castles, and other games. We were too worn out chasing Logan around! 😰
