One of all of our favorite adventures lately was a trip to Holyoke, MA to see some dinosaur tracks. It's so funny because it's just this random spot alongside of the road (the tracks were uncovered by the workers building the road) but it's one of those things that just seems so unfathomable - to be seeing and walking on things that are millions of years old. There really just aren't words for it. Anyways, it was a beautiful day and the kids had a blast. It was all the more fun because it's also a kind of family history site for us. Mark's uncle was the paleontologist that came to the site and identified and studied the tracks there. We enjoyed spotting them and trying to follow them and seeing the different sizes and shapes, and of course Ry even got in touch with his inner-dino.
