Summer in Colorado

Every summer for the last several years we have traveled to Colorado to see my family. This past summer, 09, was no exception. It's a long drive but we always have so much fun! The kids do pretty well in the car and we are so blessed because we can go for 2 weeks and really make the trip worth the drive. Jeff's work is flexible enough that he can work from there so he works one week and takes one week off for vacation. It works great. We drive through Utah on our way to Colorado and usually we are lucky enough to see friends. This trip we stopped in Lehi and stayed with our friends Justin and Tina and their kiddos. We had such a great time with them. We went to the new Kowabunga Bay while we were there, ate good food, and played. Then we finish out the drive to CO. Brandie's boys were in Montrose while we were there and it was so great so see them. The cousins really love to play. Some of the things we did while we were there are a birthday party for Bryce and Chandler, swimming at the pool, riding bikes, drive in movies, and we took a long weekend and went camping up in the mountains. While camping we played in the stream, explored caves, hiked, picked wild flowers, and road Grandpa's new toy! Below are some pics. It was a great trip!!
