Wow, a great trip!

We cannot even tell you how much fun we had in Colorado! There are lots of pictures to look at, so we have them up on Picasa: Fun times in Colorado, 8/11. We hope you enjoy them.

Our trip up went really well. We left at 1 AM and met the Bonus family in Amarillo at 8 AM. Then we all took turns driving the rest of the day to make it to Colorado by dinner time. Our extended family was there already and we had a great 3 days with them. First thing Saturday morning we jumped back in the van and headed to Wyoming for the day. We spent our day at Uncle Wayne's house riding horses, riding the dune-buggy, playing football and croquet, and eating LOTS of yummy food. We celebrated G&G Klatt's birthdays with cake, singing, a cute poem by Adam and Kim, and a book of letters and pictures made by Melissa. Here's the whole group:

Sunday was church and hanging out, then Monday the extended family went home. Tuesday we had dentist and eye appointments while Kelly watched Shelby ~ THANKS KELLY! Wednesday was Pinkalicious day (see Picasa pictures!). Thursday we headed to the mountains. Friday and Saturday we hung out with the family, Josh went shooting, and we did some relaxing. Also, fit into all that we took family pictures, went to see Jesse & Kelly's new house, spent time at Russel & Zoey's house, ate lots of yummy food, saw friends at church, re-roofed a shed, and enjoyed some great sleep. Yes, Shelby did take good naps and she slept well almost every night. Sunday after church we started our trip back to Texas, with a stop over in Roswell for the night. After getting groceries on Monday we made it back to our home.

I think one thing we all enjoyed was the cooler weather. The mornings were in the 50's and 60's and it felt wonderful! The pretty green fields of corn and other produce were so nice to see, as well as the beautiful mountains.

Have I said we had a good time?! :)
