ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH

Last Friday we drove to Denver to help Jamie & Amy move into their new home. We decided to take the southern approach to Denver and it was a beautiful drive. The Rockies are more impressive when you come upon them from that direction. For much of the drive the Colorado River is alongside the road. I had never seen Vail or Aspen before. We found lots of places we would like to visit.

Sorry to say, but again, not many pictures. I did get that cute one of Jaiden, Thaiya, & Jetrin while I was keeping them busy during moving van loading. The elders came to help load but when we got to the new house, it was Terry & Jamie doing all the heavy work. They worked so hard and got so worn out I thought they might cry. Just when everyone was getting beyond tired and past cranky, Tory & Tyler showed up and really gave everyone a burst of renewed energy and a much better attitude! They would have been there sooner but Tyler had to work. There was a time crunch with the truck but all turned out well. Their house is very cute and in a real nice neighborhood. The kid's school is just down the street. They have an awesome deck with a hot tub that I'm sure will get lots of use. (I meant to take pictures)

All in all it was a great trip and we had a good time. It was so good to see the kids play together.
