The trip to Colorado

After Sarah's swim meet on June 22nd, we started the 16+ hour drive to Colorado. Yes, that sounds long. And yes, it was long. However, the kids did great. And I had an amazing pilot. Seriously, my mom was amazing. She drove the entire way while I took care of the kids and their needs. We had a really close call where a semi-truck tried to merge into us and her quick braking kept us safe. (The truck literally would have hit us--it must not have seen us. Talk about scary!)

The first day, we drove about 7.5 hours to Monticello, Utah. We stopped in Tuba City at McDonalds to eat and let the kids run around a bit. After arriving at our motel, we went to a local park for some more play time.

We went to church the next morning and walked around the temple.

Then we headed over to Grand Junction. It was a short 2.5 hour drive. We had a nice visit with my Aunt Sue and saw her amazing garden.

Megan and Matthew loved having some of their stuff in their backpacks.
