4th of July we took a trip to Blue Spruce RV Park. We were meeting the entire side of the Frisingers for a weeks vacation. We got a cabin and boy was it small. I queen size bed, a futon pulled out to be a bed, a table that sits 2, range, a sink the size of your head, hotel fridge and a small bathroom. With this herd it was a tight fit. Nevertheless it was enough so we could rest our heads at night.
Sunday we had a small devo, lunch, did a little hiking and then the evening festivities included the traditional hot dogs, baked beans and fireworks. May I inform you that the evenings in Colorado during the summer do get chilly.
Before the fireworks started the wind picked up and it got COLD! All in all the fireworks were great, the kids enjoyed them except Ray was ready to go to sleep.
Monday we took a trip to see the Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings. Well, lets just say we didn't have an accurate idea of how long this trip would take from beginning to end. 2 hours just to get to the dwellings and then another 2 hours back!!! I wasn't much of a patient mama that day. We did stop to get ice cream in hopes that the kids wouldn't ask why they couldn't go closer to where the Indians lived.
Tuesday was horse back riding. You had to be 6 years old to be able to ride. We figured Wes was old enough to ride, even though he's 5. There was no way we could explain to him why he couldn't ride. He did very well and looks absolutely adorable on his horse KK. Grant was full of questions and kept pretending he was a rodeo star waving his hand in the air. OH! and boy was it a dusty ride. No wonder the cowboys wore handkerchiefs........so they wouldn't chew dirt!
Wednesday was soooo awesome!!! Poppy and NayNay we so kind to watch the younger two all day while Paul and I took the older two ATV'ing and Rafting. I was so worried about the rafting but it was a piece of cake. ATV'ing?? Well, lets just say were researching how much they cost b/c they are so AWESOME!!!
We had a great trip to Colorado and can't wait to go back. In fact there's a 4 day weekend coming up and we just might go back to Colorado for some R&R.
