| Our Family vacation 2008: For our vacation we went to a family reunion in Kentucky followed
by a side trip to Arkansas to visit Auntie Lynda and Cousin Lynda. Here are some of
our favorite pictures from the trip!
Dinosaur World: We visited dinosaur World in Cave City, Kentucky (where
our hotel was during our Kentucky stay). It was the kids' favorite stop on the whole
trip!

Here we are getting ready to go into Dinosaur World. even the
front entrance was cool!

First we went to the fossil exhibits. The kids enjoyed seeing all
the fossils and stuff up close. Then they got to put their hands into these little
holes to try to feel what dinosaur it was inside! They were scared at first, but
they got it done!

We had fun with the photo dinosaur! Here is angel in the
dinosaur...she screamed help and pretended that she was being eaten by the dinosaur so
well that Emma was terrified and wouldn't go near it! Then Kody got in the dinosaur.
He was so short that even standing on the step you couldn't see him, so Mama got
inside with him to hold him up. Mama put her head in the dinosaur to try to convince
Emma to get in with her for a picture, but it was a no go and Dada snapped a picture
anyway!
Then we checked out the Movie Cave (Boy does Kody love that Terradactyl
on the roof!). Then it was off to the fossil dig. Each kid got to dig in the
sand for small fossils and at the end, they got to choose three to bring home! After
that it was off to the Boneyard. the kids got to learn about what dinosaur fossils
really look like in the ground and how palentologists uncover the bones carefully.
Each one had a shovel and a paintbrush to gently clean off the bones.
The Dinosaur Walk started off with the smaller dinosaurs. The kids
couldn't believe how big even the little guys were! Angel enjoyed reading the
plaques to all of us. Then it was a rush to see what the next dinosaur was!

A nice gentleman offered to take a family picture for us in front of the
stegasaruses!

Then came the big dinosaurs! Look at these long necks. Even
the babies were taller than all of us! Then we turned a corner and there was a T-Rex
staring out of the trees at us. The kids were in awe!
Family Reunion:
Here are some of
the fun pictures taken at the Wolfe Family Reunion held in Cub Run, Kentucky.

Everyone enjoyed spending time chatting and sharing family information
with each other!
These next pictures were all taken by Angel. she tried very hard
to get as many of the family members as she could. It is going to take me some time
to figure out who everyone is!

From left to right: My grandpa, (I need to remember his name!), My
cousin Selena's dad (sorry I forgot your first name!), Aunt Doris.

From left to right: Cousin Selena, Uncle George, (need her name)
and aunt Lou, (Again...I need to remember her name. lol) and Kody.

From left to right: Cousin Kelly's daughter (my mind is drawing a
blank), Cousin Kelly's husband (another blank on his first name!), J.M. Parker, and Cousin
Kenny.

From left to right: (I don't know if I ever caught her name, lol),
Not sure who this is...Angel missed her face!, Cousin George Wolfe, and me and Emma...yup
Angel even caught a surprise picture of me.
Not bad pictures for a six year old to take!
Coming soon....A Family Reunion page with full family pictures and
names!
Arkansas: Then it was off to
Arkansas to spend some time with Auntie Lynda and Cousin Lyndsey!

Left to right: Lynda and Lyndsey cheesing for the camera.

didn't want any more pictures taken!)

Saying Bye to Lynda and Lyndsey. Group hugs!
We had a fantastic trip and enjoyed getting to visit with so much family.
Some of the family I haven't seen in at least ten years! Lynda and Lyndsey we
haven't gotten to see in almost five years! They had never gotten to meet Kody and
Emma!
