The afternoon was cooling off as the dinner hour approached. The family was sitting in the of a beautiful garden at Hot Springs State Park in Wyoming. Shannon, who going into the fifth grade, was to make plans for the next . Billy, who would be in the grade, was still thinking about the herd they had visited that morning.
“They had the beards, Dad,” Billy said. “And they enormous. I didn't expect them to so huge.”
“They are certainly very beasts. There's no doubt about it,” their replied. Shannon said she really liked the calves as well, but she wasn't as in bison as her brother. She had else on her mind. She was that if she didn't get everyone about tomorrow, her mom and dad come up with something boring to on their last day at the . Shannon asked her parents what they on everyone doing for the rest of their at the park.
After thinking about it for a , Dad suggested that a soak in the springs' mineral water might be nice. Billy and Shannon each other a familiar look. Billy began complaining about the plan. Shannon another approach. She explained that while a might be fun for her parents, she and her would rather do something more active.
To Billy and Shannon's , their mom agreed. She said that since they be spending a lot of time in the in the next few days, some activity would be a good idea. She going to the Dinosaur Museum. There they see partial dinosaur skeletons that had found in the park. Even better, a ranger had told Mom that visitors actually dig for dinosaur fossils near the !
Everyone decided that a trip to the museum the perfect plan, especially since the Mesozoic , when dinosaurs lived, was one of Billy and Shannon's school subjects. During this time, many of years ago, dinosaurs had been common in Wyoming. Conditions around the springs were perfect for the dinosaurs' to fossilize, or turn into rock-like . At the museum, workers would show the where and how to dig for the results.
Shannon thought that sounded way than soaking in a pool, and Billy convinced of it, too. He figured that he could find a real dinosaur , he would be able to go to school with the best summer report ever. He didn't want to another moment. He was ready to to the museum right away!
