Family Vacation Number Three That Was Not to Relatives' or While Moving




Number One was a day in Vegas (kind of a bust for two mormons who have never spent much time there and have a 1- and 3-year-old).

Number Two was really awesome. We went to see LeBron James play in his rookie year in Cleveland. We hit Goodies in Cincinnati, the Colombus temple, Kirtland, the NFL Hall of Fame, and General Conference in the middle of nowhere.

Number Three . . . 


We went to Colorado for a big baseball tournament. Six hour drive, kids were perfect in the car. No kidding. We stayed in a condo with a kitchen so we only had to eat out a couple of times, otherwise we cooked at home. So much yummier! And safer! (Yes, I am paranoid.)




Tubing down this river. Boy do I wish we had pictures of that adventure. It was awesome, and quite an accomplishment for this little family. Aaron and I held Garrett and Lydia in our tubes. 
Lydia preferred to be alone in the tube, so I did a fair amount of pushing, swimming, and banging my shins against the rocks. No complaints though, it was a great day. 




This is at Fish Creek Falls. Over 200 feet high, and raging at its peak. Lucky for us, the snowmelt is winding down so it was calm enough to play in. 











More pictures to come, maybe. We decided to take one last vacation to California before we pay for our sins (PAYEE: AMEX).  :) Aaron's parents should get their mission call this week or next and we want to spend time with them before they go. Plus, who can resist the coast?
