We found a cool place to visit with Mama! Between Clovis and Portales is the Blackwater Draw Museum. It is all about cavemen and Woolly Mammoths found in New Mexico. They had lots of neat bones and even pieces of tusk.
You can see how big they would have been!
We enjoyed learning all about them at the museum.
Here I am showing you have to be a dinosaur.
From the museum, we went to the actual site where they found the Mammoths. They are also finding bison remains there. You can hike out to the site where they are excavating the bones. We checked out the stuff in the office first.
Then we hit the trail - little did we know, it is a full mile all the way around...but we made it!
Everything is in levels where they are digging.
It was kind of neat, but we couldn't identify very many of the bones, but we had fun trying with Mama!
The last part of the mile got kind of long for little legs, so I got a little help.
We took time to enjoy a shady spot. Next time we are going to take Daddy along and tell him all about the people and animals that lived here.
Time together is precious and I am so glad we get to do things as a family!
