Colorado

As a family we recently took 13 hour road trip up to Colorado to see Chris' family and the new baby. We had a pleasent drive with all 5 of us in the car. We were able to rent a Ford Flex for free with Eric's points from traveling so much and got our hotel stays for free. The perks of him traveling for his job. We enjoyed the lovely senery on the way up and back. Bruce enjoyed pointing out different shapes in the mountains. In one he pointed out that it looked like it had a face on it.

After leaving all the beautiful rocks and entering into the beautiful ski country of Colorado we were able to see Vail and many other ski resort towns and feel in love with all of the beautiful senery.

After traveling all day we got there around 10 at night. We droped Bruce off at Chris' house and went on to our hotel to get some much needed sleep. On Saturday we got together and went to a beautiful park there in Parker and took lots of pictures of the kids and families together. Here is a picture of the 5 oldest grandkids. Starting left we have Trent, Joshua, Layton, Lizzie and Jake.

The boys enjoyed pertending to be army men at this little stream. Here they are holding their guns. Of course you have to imagine them being there.

Here they are plotting about how they are going to cross the stream.

We then got a picture of all the grandkids together. Poor Lizzie is the only girl so far. I know how that feels. I have 6 boy cousins before me and then one after me before I got to have girl cousins to play with. From the left we have Layton, Lizzie, Joshua, James, Trent, Adam and Jake.

The kids even enjoyed getting all together in their own little circle and play games on their DS's. It is cute even Lizzie gets right in there and plays with the boys.

The kids did really well and had fun playing with each other and of course they all had to go in the same car with Uncle Eric and Aunt BB. So we got back from the park first and took pictures of the oldest on the front steps.

Here is a wonderful 3 generation picture with Bruce and all of the brothers and their children.

We even got to take a rare picture of Grandpa holding Lizzie.

Look for more of our trip to Colorado and Adam's Blessing in the next post to come.
