Colorado

Well last week I took the kids to Colorado to see my friend Audra. It was about a 9 hour drive, and the kids did great. I was really worried about Ryan being in the car for that long, but it helped that he had Jakob and Sara there to keep him happy and fed. When we got there we went to Colorado Springs to the Garden of the Gods. It was a really neat place. The rock formations were a red rock that looked like it was shooting out from the ground. We got some good pictures, but Audra has them and has not sent them to me yet. As soon as I get them I will post them. We also went to the Denver zoo. It was really fun to be there with Ryan. He love's his animal books that I read him and so he really loved seeing the animals in real life. The best was when we were looking at the elephants. He was staring intently at them leaning forward in his stroller. Then a worker put some hay close to where we were. The elephant started walking over to us and as it got closer Ryan slowly moved back in his stroller. Looking to me and then back to the elephant, not sure he liked what was going on. It was quite funny. The rest of the time we were in Colorado we just hung out at Audra's house so the kids could play and Ryan could nap. It was a great trip and we all had fun. Oh yeah the reason why we went to Colorado was because Steve had a business trip to India. He left the same day we did and is getting back this afternoon. I'm so excited to have him home. I really don't like it when he goes so far away and for so long.
