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.

That's awesome! D. could get a job in Dnever, but we are unsure.... Too many things dealing with here in SD.

I can only imagine how physically hard all that moving was...wow.

They have a hot tub? Wow, even more incentive to visit them.

That is an adorable picture of the kids. They're getting so big.

Good job for posting mom! Wish we could have been there to help! That would be awesome if Rowdy and Diane moved there too!

Amen to R and D moving to Denver! That knock my freakin' socks off! Loved seeing you Mom and Dad, even if it was only for a few hours!
