Summer 2007 Kansas Trip

I think this will be a fun way to keep in touch with all of you.


Isn't Colorado beautiful. This was our first time to travel through Colorado. We usually take the quick way to Kansas through New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. This was definately a prettier trip.


We just got back from our vacation this summer and I thought it would be neat to let you see some of the pictures. We went to Kansas to a family reunion and on the way there and back we traveled through Colorado. We loved it. The country through the Rockies is absolutely beautiful!! This was on the way. We stopped along the side of the road to see this waterfall. Brad, Me and the boys hiked up to it.

This was on the way home. We stopped at a creek along the side of the road. The water was pretty chilly. But we did get the boys to walk across it and back. We also worked on skipping rocks.






This is a picture of my grandparents and all of the cousins, except one, my cousin Andrew. He is currently stationed overseas and could not make it back.



On the way home we went to Pike's Peak and drove to the summit. We took a few pictures while we were there. It is amazing the changes in vegetation and temperature as you travel up.

Your blog looks great! It sounds like you had a great trip through Colorodo, your pictures look great, too. The kids and I arrived home at 1:30 this morning, we had a big adventure. We were so glad to see all of you at Grandma's and Grandpa's.
