Gettin outta dodge!

Sooooo, after no vacations since last June Kyle was tired of sucking smog everyday and we made a break for the fresh air over the long weekend. Some people would say driving 12 hours both ways just for a weekend is a little crazy but well, I guess we are a little crazy.

We saw some of our wonderful family and the best part was seeing our kids play with their cousins.

We went geocaching, picnicking and attempted fishing on the Mesa. I expected sun but California has skewed my views. We were trudging through the snow, hail, fog and rain but the cool thing was not a complaint was heard by anyone and we all had tons of fun!






Kyle and I had fun riding our kids around the property on Grandpa's four wheeler. Ryder especially enjoyed this. He kept squealing "WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"


Kyle and I took advantage of built in babysitters and t.p.ed our old friends in the middle of the night who had no idea we were in town. We are SO mature. Too bad for them it rained that night.

Memorial Day morning included the traditional trip to the cemetary. I really liked that.


And to top off our Colorado adventure we attended a JUCO baseball game!! Loooved it.

Then we rushed back home to the constantly gorgeous weather of California and I must say it felt good to be home again.

Gee - you mentioned you were feeling a little homesick having read about summer in GJ, but I didn't know it was so serious! ;-) How fun to make a crazy, spontaneous trip home like that. Glad you were able to fill your Colorado cup a little bit! Enjoy your sunshine...it's still raining...and the rest of the week is supposed to be rainy, too - weird, eh?? xoxo
