1974This must have been the summer that we visited Dinosaur National Monument. Here we are camped in the North Dakota Badlands. We spent a long time unearthing a jaw in the gully behind our campsite. We were sure it was a dinosaur - jaw my father informed us it was a cow jaw. My sister says she still has those teeth!In the morning our tents were COVERED with mosquitoes. We broke camp quickly and tossed everything in the car without packing it neatly. We had breakfast farther down the road.Look, all three of us were wearing keds! I guess we had different colors so we would know whose were whose. My sister on the left is wearing a home made sun hat. I am in the middle wearing a dress/shorts set made by my mom. I still have both patterns. We were so cool!
Blast from the Past
In 1972 we went to the Grand Canyon!That is me in my favorite outfit. I remember it well. The top was reversible and was a blue chambray on one side and the red bandana print on the other. It had matching red bloomers. I remember one summer when we stayed with my grandmother I wore it every day. She put it through the wash and I didn't get it back until it was time for us to go home. She HID it because she didn't want me to wear it all the time. Sigh. The memories.We purchased a scanner last week! I've been scanning some old family slides.
