Our Denver Trip

It has been a while since I have had the chance to blog. Moving into the new house, weeding, and more weeding, and feeling sick have taken up a lot of time. Beside the fact we haven't gotten internet yet. I blame that on Das, since he has been traveling the last 5 weeks. He has spent more time out on the road than he has at the new house. We did have the oportunity to go with him a couple of weeks ago. We took two days and drove to Denver with him. We had a really great time!
The first night we stopped in Grand Junction.  The boys could not wait
to get to the pool.  And every day after that.  I picked me up a good book,
and while Das went to work, I took the boys to the pool and let them swim
for hours while I read.  It was very relaxing.
The next day before we drove into Denver we made a few stops.  The first was
Buffalo Bills lookout.  The boys were so curious to know how he died.  The lookout
was beautiful.  You could see for miles.
Next we stopped at Red Rock Ampetheatre.  We would love to see
a concert there someday.  If the sun wasn't going down so quickly we
would have done some hiking.  Maybe next time.
One day when Das got done with work we drove to the temple.
It was very close to where we were staying.  It was snowy and cold
but as always looked marvelous.
A picture of Ashton's foot after swimming.  It was the craziest thing of
how wrinkly it was.  I guess five straight hours in the pool will do that to you.
Das got done with work on Thursday afternoon.  Checkout was before he was
done, so I packed up and took the kids to a movie.  I was fun getting to
spend time with the boys without having to worry about cleaning
and all that other stuff we worry about getting done.  When Das got off, we drove to
Vernal to stay the night.  In the morning we took the boys to a dinosaur museum.
We wanted to take them on the big tour they have, but it was an all day thing,
and I was beginning to feel sick.  But we really enjoyed our family trip.
We can't wait to go with him again!
