Tami had a work conference/trade show in Chicago, IL that her work-Arbinger Institute sent her for. She wanted Ryne to come after she was done to spend a few days sight seeing, so I came to watch their 3 kids. I drove up to St. George with Ryne and boys who had come to Eagar/Black River to camp and fish. LaVerl was glad I didn't have to drove the 7.5 hours by myself.
On Wednesday it was Adlee Belle's graduation from Kindergarten. She was the cutest one there!! In Gma's opinion!!
When the boys were at school, Adlee and I played mini-golf at the club house at Sports Village where they are living right now. She got a hole-in-one!
In 2000, a local optometrist Dr. Sheldon Johnson was leveling a hill on his property in St. George when he found a thick level of sandstone as he removed layers of sedimentary rock. As he removed large blocks of rocks, Dr. Johnson discovered a fully preserved, three-dimensional dinosaur track that was visible in both the brittle clay below and also on the bottom of the sandstone block. The track was just one of the thousands made by dinosaurs and other animals almost 200 million years ago on the shores of an ancient lake near St. George and within the broader Colorado Plateau and surrounding areas that are world-renowned for the high concentration of Triassic-Jurassic fossil resources.
Experts converged on the site to verify and reveal an extensive “trackway” found on the farm. Realizing that these dinosaur tracks would be best served if they were maintained for scientific and educational purposes, Dr. Johnson and his wife LaVerna donated the found tracks and arranged for the land to be cared for by the City of St. George. This is now a Dinosaur Museum.
