Colorado Here We Come

The adventure began on Tuesday - March 29th! 4 A's, Flat Stanley & I left Irvine headed for Colorado but FIRST a stop @ the GRAND CANYON. Many may know that the previous 2 attempts at looking in the big hole were not successful. But this time "The hole was my goal!" We arrived at 4pm & as the clouds gathered together at the park entry booth, it snowed on us! Turning my disappointment into happy cries from the 3 little guys. The clouds then began to clear & we had a beautiful sunset time. We stopped at the first lookout point - Mathers. It was awesome - something you can only see for yourself no matter what anyone else may say.

Abbie (who turned 8 in March) kept asking to touch the snow. This being her first time being any where near snow - poor little California baby. I can't tell you how excited she was to touch the snow!

We then saw some elk "butt!'

The kids tired of my stopping the van for another look (there were only 5 stops already!). The camera battery died & so did this part of our adventure.

We continued on to Bison Ranch, AZ to spend two nights there. We had alot of fun - bingo, ping pong & "Master of Disguise." Lots of laughs -- lots of gas!

Thursday am found us traveling to Colorado (or trying to). A storm rolled into the Rockies & shut down our highway. We spent a night in Santa Fe. Broke out the bones & had more laughs & gas!

Friday bright & early (and the sun is bright on snow) we started out again. The highway was open & we sailed up to Denver. We found Elijah (oh & his parents too). What a cute little guy!!!
