We were blessed to be able to go on vacation to Colorado this summer! We were very excited to go and couldn't wait to see the beautiful mountains! We left on early Saturday morning and got to Colorado around 5pm that evening. The trip went really well and the kids were pretty good along the way. On Sunday we went on a four wheel drive road. This was Elden's favorite part of the trip. We went on this steep road with huge rocks all the way up. We would have never made it without our four wheel drive vehicle! Elden loved every minute of it! When we got near the top of the mountain we found some people who have gone on this mountain before! Thank goodness they had wenches and shovels in case we got stuck. They were headed up the mountain too, so they said they'd help us if we got stuck. We went through this huge snow pass and thankfully we didn't fall off :) We managed to make it to the top!

Tim and Shari Westercamp and Mason came on Tuesday night and stayed with us the rest of the week! We were glad they came and enjoyed their company! On Thursday we went to Rocky Mountain National Park for the day! We were hoping to find some wildlife, but we only found a moose. We were quite disappointed! But we had a great time climbing the mountains! On Friday we went on a train ride in GeorgeTown called the GeorgeTown Loop! The boys had a blast on the train! That was their favorite part of the trip! On our last day there the guys rode bikes down the mountain in Keystone while us girls brought the kids mini putt in! They had fun trying to get the balls in the holes! Before we knew it our week was over and it was time to go home! We had a great time and hope to go back again someday!
