The morning started early when Cooper woke up around 5:00 and started playing his Switch. He woke up the other boys, seven different people got up to use the bathroom. We kept shushing everybody but gave up around 6:45 and embraced the day.
We had breakfast and clean up the trailer a bit. Then we went outside and shot some arrows and let the kids run around and explore for a while.
We drove up the road to the fossil area except that we went to the wrong one and spent a while searching around but didn't find anything. Then we found the right place and found a whole bunch of fossils and were pretty excited about that.
