Tues., 8/6/19...Max and I went to Pictograph Cave State Park and hiked

Entering Pictograph Cave State Park

Max was pretty excited to go to this

Sign showing all the kinds of animals they have seen in the park
We saw this sign right as we were beginning our hike there.  I was praying we wouldn't see any and Max was praying we would.  My prayer was answered!!!

Cactus on the trail


We both loved this cool tree.  It was so spread out that it made a huge shaded and dark area to relax in.  Max enjoyed being under the tree

Max in another one of the caves.  It showed what the pictographs originally looked like.  They have faded a lot.


Pictographs that are still there...in red



Notice all the nests

Max loved seeing all this stuff and walking the trail







Saw an Eagle flying there

Max found a porcupine quill by the tee pee just like the one in this display case

Bill and Max at the movie
Ate scrambled eggs, potatoes and and bacon at the hotel.  Every day their continental breakfasts were delicious.  Bill walked to the conference center for his meeting.  Max and I got ready and went to Pictograph Cave State Park.  It was a fun drive there.  There was beautiful scenery along the way..  We started walking and saw the sign saying the snakes there were active and to keep kids close to you. Max was hoping to see a snake or mountain lion, but I was praying hard not to.  We didn’t!!!  It was a fun hike and we got lots of exercise going uphill.  We saw an eagle fly over too!  Came back to the hotel and hung out.  Bill came to our room for a while too.  I took Bill back to his meeting (he has walked every other time).  
Max and I went to McDonald’s where he wanted to eat, and then we went to Cracker Barrel where I wanted to eat. I had the meatloaf special and Max had ice cream with chocolate and caramel.  I had a blackberry cobbler too. We came back and swam for a while and had some races.  Ate our leftover spaghetti from the Olive Garden for dinner.  Went on a wild goose chase to find a conservation park.  When we finally got to it, it was small and nothing like what google made it out to be.  Our GPS girl never did get us there. We had to find it on our own.  Went to see the movie Toy Story 4.  Max and I sure laughed hard.  Another fun day!
