Telluride Colorado

This year we had the awesome opportunity to go to Telluride Colorado with Nelson's brother Spencer.  This was one of the funnest places we have been.  We had the best time biking, hiking and celebrating the Fourth of July. Telluride is a ski town so everywhere you went you road the gondola to get there.  The kids had the best time joking around and playing with their cousins in those gondolas.  Some pretty amazing biking and an all around great trip

Day spent in town celebrating the fourth

One of the most favorite memories from the trip was on the ride home.  We headed out on Sunday but wanted to make sure we hit church on the way home. We hustled so we could make it to church in Moab. The only option we had was to change in the car in the back of the parking lot of the church.  We rushed in as fast as we could because we were pushing it and plopped ourselves down on the back seat of the chapel.  We started looking around and realized we were the only family in the sacrament meeting.  We had so conveniently made it to the singles ward in town.  The kids thought it was a bit awkward but I didn't mind. Church is church no matter if you are the only family sitting in the meeting

Grand Gulch

Each year Spencer invites friends from Colorado and from Utah to go on a backpacking trip. The kids look forward to it each year and completely anticipate where they will be going.  The kids have loved the experience of going on a backpacking trip.  I get left home each time to help take care of the kids left at home.  This year Spencer planned Grand Gulch down south. The kids loved it and couldn't stop talking about it and how much adventure they always have. So grateful for Spencer and the time he spends setting up fun trips for the family to go own
