Travelrama

I must apologize to anyone who checks our blog regularly because it hasn't been very exciting lately. I'm blaming it on travel. We've had an incredibly busy past 6 weeks. Here's where we've been: 10 days in Utah, 6 days on an "extended vacation" to Ouray, CO (3 of those days being spent in Montrose, CO while our clutch was being replaced), 3 days in Anaheim, CA, a long day trip to Colorado Springs for my triathlon, and the kids and I just got back from a 9 day trip to Dallas, TX. So yeah, I think I've slept in OTHER beds more than my own over the past six weeks. But now its over and I am GLAD TO BE HOME! We did have a TON of fun though! When our car broke down on the way home from camping in Ouray, we got a hotel, rode our bikes to church (Aaron pulled the kids in a borrowed bike trailer) and were blessed by a member lending us his car so we could go see Black Canyon of the Gunnison just outside of the city and get around town for the couple of days we were stuck there. In Anaheim for a work convention we got to go out on yacht for a nice dinner and evening cruise (we had Breanne with us but Abe was at home with the Shexnayders). We also saw some good friends while we were there. The week after that, Jen and Mike came to visit and we did some fun sight seeing, hiking, and hanging out. The Saturday they were here I competed in the Rocky Mountain State Games triathlon and we went to Garden of the Gods after the race. And then three days after they left, Abe, Breanne and I drove to Texas with Ashley and her boys. We had a lot of fun playing with cousins, sight seeing, and visiting with Elisse and Garry. Here's a few pics of all the adventures.

Breanne LOVES her cousin Sarah. She was making her laugh hysterically!
