Today we had a great and relaxing time! We went to a free concert at Butterfield park (that the Meadows sponsors every year). They brought in a U2 cover band. They were really good, but didn’t play a lot of the really familiar stuff. It was a beautiful evening and with some food, camp chairs, […]
Today we are official Colorado residents! We went to the DMV and got our driver’s licenses! Fortunately, all we had to do was take the eye exam. We didn’t have to take the written test like we did when we first moved to Illinois. That was a relief, especially for Brittany! Zach and Ben also
Today, I left really early from home and went and picked up the girls from camp. They had a GREAT time and absolutely loved it! The bear thing wasn’t a big deal, although one was spotted, and sleeping in tents was a lot of fun for them. Brittany was a Youth Camp Leader (YCL) this
Happy Pioneer Day everyone! We didn’t do anything special today… Just hung out and missed the girls who are at camp.
Brittany and Kirstyn left today for girl’s camp! They were a bit nervous because they had never had an experience at girl’s camp like this one would be! 🙂 Instead of staying in A/C cabins and eating in a A/C lodge, everything was outdoors, and they slept in tents the whole week! 🙂 They also
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 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
Today we had our first visit from Chicago friends! The Cerda family just happened to be out in the Denver area for a soccer tournament and called to see if they could come over! 🙂 It was great to see them! Zach was SUPER excited to see his best friend from Illinois again! We had
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
Today we got up early, ate breakfast and then started driving the final stretch home! We saw some beautiful country along the way… We finally made it to the I-70 pass down into Denver and made our way home! After 10 days, it felt nice to drive into our own driveway, unpack, and sleep in
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 decided to stay an extra day and visit the LA Natural History Museum with a bunch of the families. That was a lot of fun. We also got to see the Colosseum/Rose Bowl! We went to a really cool butterfly exhibit as well. By the time we were done with the museum, we
