On the Move

Our time in Vegas is done.  We packed out last week and are headed out to Monterey, CA...via Colorado!  We have time before Ed starts school and our house is ready so we're off to visit friends & family in Colorado.  
The girls did great on the 8+ hour days in the car.  Ed climbed back with them for part of the drive through Wyoming....snacks & daddy the ride doesn't get much better!
Our first stop in Colorado is in Estes Park at the YMCA of the Rockies.  The girls spent the first day in camp so Ed & I enjoyed a hike with the other two.   The weather is perfect - so nice to be out in trees, listening to the river and just enjoying God's creation!
Today we went into Rocky Mountain National Park.  The big hit of the trip was the elk that were all over as well as the snow that was still on the ground.  It was beautiful to get out and see all the views along the way...even the Continental Divide!  The younger 2 were asleep in the car when we made this stop... one I remember making as a child!  We're just so thankful to have this time together as a family after so many vacations at air show locations - it's wonderful!

Ed looks really comfortable in the back seat! We are going to be taking a road trip to see Grandparents in August. It will be interesting to see how that goes!

Beautiful pictures...a trip you'll always remember. Sounds like the move has been an easy transition.
Love and miss y'all!
