Family Vacation!!!!

Colin and I just returned from the most epic vacation with the boys. We started our trip in Laramie. On the way down we saw an elk bugling and even a badger. We did our best to get some sleep that night, but the excitement a lot to handle. The next morning Colin had to take his PG exam while the boys and I explored.

Our first stop was the Geology Museum. The boys loved the dinosaurs.

The boys got their Big Al shirts at the museum and had to wear them all day. As soon as Colin finished his test we headed to Denver.

Jason and Jake were just excited to get to another motel room. Colin fought through traffic and got us there in one piece. We had a few bumps in the road with Jason nearly having an accident since we couldn't pull over in the bumper to bumper traffic. To top it off I used my awesome navigation skills and got us a little lost. But, in the end we made it to the motel. Thank you Colin.

The boys loved to chill out on the motel bed. The biggest excitement came from the knowledge that we were going to the Denver Zoo the next morning. Jake couldn't stop talking about the giraffes and Jason just couldn't wait to see an elephant.

When we woke up the next morning we rushed to get out and get to the zoo. The fun was just getting ready to begin. As we walked into the zoo entrance the lions started to roar. They were so loud and impressive. What a great way to start the day!!!

Jason had this dream of seeing an elephant and that is just what we did.

Jake had to take off after a goose. The goose didn't like it, but the giggles told us that Jake was having a blast.

Just as Jason wanted to see the elephant, Jake wanted to see a giraffe more than anything. His eyes were so big when he saw them. They were so big that he was in shock.

When we saw the flamingos the boys had to stand on one leg just like them.

We ended the day with a train and carousel ride. Both boys loved it. Their smiles were from ear to ear.

The zoo was just a great experience. We had our small meltdowns, but it was a grand adventure. The four of us made memories to last a lifetime.

Once we finished at the zoo we headed north to Laramie. That night we had a nice dinner and got some rest before going home. On our way home Colin was pleased to pick up his new gun. It is a savage 270.

We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Our time together was just priceless. I can't wait for our next adventure together!!! Hope all of you had a wonderful weekend. Take care and ENJOY!!!
