Colorado

We are in Colorado over the 4th of July weekend. So far is has been really fun. Would I say relaxing... probably not! We have hiked almost everyday! Not that I am trying to complain, but geez, I hate hiking... Anyway, today we had a nice restful event. We went to some natural hot springs and enjoyed the rain at the same time. By the time we left I could barely hold up my limbs and keep my eyes open! I was very relaxed. I have found that vacations with a large group can be very challenging. Getting a group of 11 to make decisions and act on them have been sort of a headache. Oh well. It is beautiful here and we have had great weather. Having a toddler with sometimes causes some stress in the group. We are used to having him with and knowing what his ticks are, but sometimes it seems like the others aren't as accepting. I hate feeling like my pride and joy, the thing I love most, would be a burden to someone else. I think I just take that a little bit overboard, but I can't help it! Anyway, today is the 4th and we went to a parade this morning. We then went to the hot springs, now we are going out for amazing pizza (so I've heard about this restaurant) and then we are going up the mountain a little bit to watch fireworks! Tomorrow Nate, Cooper and I are going downtown to check out the sites. On Tuesday the crew, minus Cooper and Lori (Nate's aunt) will be rafting down the Colorado River. I am excited, but nervous! Been white water rafting once, remember Bri? It was fun. So hopefully we will have great weather and zero injuries. We will be home on Wednesday night and then start a crazy rodeo weekend at home. Summer is cruising!
