Family vacation



Okay, Family vacation time is here again.  It came and went to soon.  We started out in the car once again, Amber and the boys in their regular positions, a full car and lots of food to snack on and make lunches.  We were a bit more loaded down than usual.  We had all of Amber's stuff for college tucked away in a car top carrier.  We were taking Amber to BYU and fitting in our family vacation at the same time.

As you can see, Ben is excited to get going. 

Our first stop was Denver, Colorado.  We had to stop at the home of the Denver Broncos!  I am a huge Payton Manning fan, and he has been traded to the Broncos.  So  I had to go and get a Broncos Payton Manning jersey.  Which they were sold out of.  I did get a shirt though.  Keaton is also a Broncos fan, and he got a few things as well.  It was fun!

We drove a bit farther out of Denver and stopped to have a picnic lunch.  Their was a trail to hike on through a small forest and a nice meadow.  We found lots of small wonders of nature.  We love hiking and discovering new things.

We found a trap door spider and his web.  Ben found a small grasshopper and put it in the web and we saw the spider come out and grab it!  It was cool.



Taking a rest on a nice bench.

We drove further across Colorado, and stopped in a little town called Rifle.  We stayed the night, and the next day we went up to Rifle falls.  They have a cool trail their for hiking, with cool caves and rock formations.  It was beautiful!

This is the bottom of the falls.

This was a cool cave.  It was huge!  The pictures don't do it justice.

Next stop Moab, Utah!
