Pike’s Peak!

Today we took a trip down/up to Pike’s Peak!  It’s not a very long drive from here, and you can drive all the way to the top.  🙂  Our 2nd 14er in the bag!  🙂  The view up there was really pretty and it was a great day for it!  We didn’t think it was […]

EFY Ends

EFY ended today and the girls were really bummed!  They made a TON of new friends and absolutely loved the program!  At first, they weren’t sure that they would (not being able to stay on a campus and all that goes with that), but they were proven wrong big time!  Kirstyn can’t wait to do

EFY Starts

Today EFY started for the girls!  We signed them up for the Denver Stay at Home EFY which is exactly the same as a regular EFY only you stay at home and eat breakfast before you go.  That makes it MUCH cheaper!  🙂  The girls aren’t sure exactly what to expect but they are excited

This morning, we packed up, said good-bye to everyone, and then started our drive home.  We stopped in Las Vegas, drove along the strip, and then up to the temple to visit the grounds there.  We ate lunch and then started on our drive again… What a different feeling between the strip and the temple!

Today we got up early and I took Zach to the beach to do a little body boarding.  He had a riot!  It was hard to get him out of the water to get moving with our daily activities… LA Temple and Hollywood. Once I got him out and dried off, we piled in the

This morning we got up early, checked out of the hotel, and drove back up into the Grand Canyon.  It was much more beautiful than yesterday because all the fog was gone.  We got some amazing pictures!  We took a couple of hikes along the rim and enjoyed the fresh air! Even though the kids
