This summer we did something that we have never done before!
We took our family on a road trip to Colorado to watch the MLB Home Run Derby!!!
And not only did we take our family, we surprised Dallin and took his best friend Jordyn with us! :)
We left early and listened to our ward's church services in the car while we were driving.
We planned out our route, and had packed our coolers for a picnic at a beautiful waterfall!
We enjoyed a yummy lunch together and had fun walking around and exploring the beauties that surrounded us.
I think everyone had a great time.
I love this family of mine and feel so blessed to have days like these where we get to spend so much undivided time together!
Annnd.... It was so much fun to take my sister and her family with us on our trip!
It was over her birthday, and it was our gift to her. :)
We stayed in the most beautiful house in Rifle, which is a little ski town, and the sunrise every morning was so beautiful!
I would wake up early and sit on the porch with Colby (who is also an early riser) every morning just to see the breathtaking view...
The kids all had a great time playing together, sitting in the hot tub, and just laughing and enjoying the time together.
One morning Clint and me, Tiffany, and Colby all drove over to the little ski resort to see if we could ride the lift, but it was closed. BUT...the crepe shop was open! :)
Here is Tiffany and Kesslyn ON Tiffany's birthday!
We ate at Chik-fil A before heading to the baseball stadium!
Being at Coors Field was super cool!
The party vibe was everywhere!
There were so many of the teams mascots there that we tried to get pictures with as many as we could!
The Baltimore Orioles and Cincinnati Reds
The Colorado Rockies
Opening ceremonies at Coors Field for the Home Run Derby!
The stands were PACKED!!!!
SOOOO many people, and some smoke still in the sky from all of the fires burning.
My beautiful sister, and Kambriella,
Happy 43rd birthday Tiffany!
Xaxton, Gavin, Dallin, and Jordyn
Clint and Colby
And yet another beautiful sunrise!
This was our last day there, but we had to squish in as much fun as possible, so we stopped at a place called Glenwood Adventure Park and rode the gondola up the mountain!
Once we were all up at the top we saw the most amazing heights!
Crazy thrill rides that flipped out over the edge of the high mountain that we did NOT go on.
We DID however go inside some caves on little tours.
And we did see the entire town of Glenwood from the very top of the mountain!
The view was incredible, but I was also very grateful for the safety of the guard rail since I'm a little scared of heights!
It was SO high!
The caves were super fun to be in, especially when it started to rain outside!
Jordyn and Dallin
Xaxton and Gavin ;)
We even did a little "panning for gold" at the end.
We actually bought a pre-filled bag and let the little girls find the treasures, and boy did that make Kesslyn happy!!!
What an adventure we had in Colorado!
Thank you Clint for spoiling our family and taking us to do all of these fun things!
We are so lucky and blessed to have such a loving and generous person like you at the head of our family.
We love you!
