I think Patrick and I are just kids at heart because our favorite dates are usually places or activities geared for people under the age of twelve; Utah Children's Theatre, Disney movies,
building forts, the zoo- you get the idea.
For June's "Year of Dates" date, we walked and picnicked among life-size dinosaurs at the
Although this fun park was designed with a younger audience in mind, we of course had a blast!
As we approached the entrance, both Patrick and I exclaimed "Jurassic Park!"
The Dinosaur Park is tucked away on the outskirts of Ogden and between all the trees and ginormous dinosaurs scattered about, you definitely feel like you are in a scene from the movie.
(However, unlike when we watch the movie, I held Patrick's hand while at the park because I wanted to, not because I was scared.)
Last month we visited the Natural History Museum of Utah and were blown away by their collection of fossils. The Dinosaur Park has a smaller collection of fossils, which were nicely displayed in their main building, but it really is the outdoor exhibit that makes this place worth visiting.
The Dinosaur Park won points with us for having plenty of shade and several picnicking areas.
(I always like the option of being able to bring your own food.)
And for moms with kiddos in tote,
the trails are mostly all paved and stroller-friendly.
We are already halfway through our "Year of Dates."
It's true, time flies when you're having fun!
