Talk about an epic family reunion! 🦖✈️

Our Flat Raptor went on a summer vacation with one of our awesome school families and made a pit stop at Dinosaur National Monument to visit some of his ancient ancestors! 🦕🌊 From checking out massive quarry wall fossils to hanging out with a sauropod, he’s living his absolute best prehistoric life.
We love seeing where our Raptors travel over the break! Huge thanks to our amazing school family for taking him along on their adventures and sharing the fun. 🎒☀️
