On Tuesday, April 5th, my family went to Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. There were hardly any real wood trees there- all the trees were petrified, meaning they had turned to stone! The logs looked just like they were still made of wood, with the same texture of the bark and everything! The logs had beautiful colors-black, brown, pink, orange, red, purple, yellow, and even grey. There was a little hike we did where we walked through hundreds of petrified wood logs. Here are Stella and Ellie doing their Junior Ranger packets by one of the logs:<\/p>\n

Stella and Ellie working hard!<\/p><\/div>\n

At the visitor center, there was a place where kids could dig up fossils in a big tray. I buried the fossils so my sisters could dig them up. Here is a picture of them digging:<\/p>\n

Dig dig dig! \ud83d\ude00<\/p><\/div>\n

After the visitor center, we went on a mile hike into the Blue Mesa, still part of Petrified Forest. It was a fabulous day to hike; warm and windy. We took lots of pictures, and here is one of me with the blue mesas behind me:<\/p>\n

There I am with the mesas in the background. Beautiful, huh?<\/p><\/div>\n

We saw even more petrified wood on our hike, and here we are in front of another log:<\/p>\n

Doesn't the rock look just like wood!?<\/p><\/div>\n
