dino land

we went on a quick little getaway out to the family cabin

a few weeks back (i am slow posting this)

while we were there, we went to dino land in Vernal, UT.

it was a lot of fun.

the cabin was chilly, but so beautiful.

hunting season had just started so we had to wear our neon orange.

it was a much needed vaca!
