Colorado

Well, we just took our annual summer trip to Colorado. Brent's family has a cabin up in Golden Gate Canyon which is just West of Denver and about 12 miles up the mountain from Golden, CO. We love to spend time up there in the summer because of the cooler temps and the carefree days outdoors in the mountains. This year, we got the kids out of their beds and put them in the car at 4:45 in the morning to make our long drive to Colorado. We were in Amarillo by breakfast time, in Raton, NM by lunch and in Colorado Springs by 3pm. We did some grocery shopping and then onto Golden to eat an early dinner with a friend of ours. We then headed up the mountain to the house. We played outside, took walks, played in the woods, went swimming at the REC center, we went fishing at Dude's Pond and we went into Nederland to ride the carousel and eat ice cream in the old train car. We had a great visit with family and then headed home to Texas. Such a fun time and we were so proud of our little road warriors. They are gearing up for our long drive to Florida in August!
