Colorado Trip Highlights

The last two weeks in August we had the amazing opportunity to drive to Colorado. We were able to see family, visit the family farm and make some great memories. We caravanned there and back with the Kuykendalls- needless to say we had a blast!! We are so thankful for the time we were able to spend with family, and I had the great joy of sharing a piece of my childhood memories with my girls. A great big thank you to Mom for making the trip a reality, and thanks to Wanda for hosting all of the many families with such grace!

Here are a few highlight pics. I will post more photos on each event soon.



These pictures are out of order, but here they are:
on the way home we stopped for a day in Yellowstone National Park. Sooo beautiful. I want to go back!


Here is a picture of the sisters and all of their grandkids (except for Justin, we missed you!!) Quite a bunch!


In Colorado Springs we were able to meet up with my Dad, Grandpa George. It was the girls' first time to meet him, and he made quite an impact. Days later Gracie would say randomly in the car, "I miss Grandpa George!"


This one's a cliff hanger (haha). Garden of the Gods- awesome.


Casa Bonita- a must for Elaine and I. We went there as kids and loved it! There are a lot of cool things to do and see inside- including another cliff hanger! haha


OF course there was a lot of this on the trip...


and a lot of this in the car... Doodle pads are a must have for long drives.


And last but definitely not least, a WHOLE lot of this. especially on the first day.
Grace: "I have to go pooootty!"
we pull over and she tinkles.
30 minutes later, Grace: "I have to go p**p!"
so, we pull over.
We were glad to have this little red chair.
