COLORADO TRIP

We took a trip to LaJara Colorado this past May, home of Nikki's dad.  Her grandma, Uncle Mark, and Uncle Dave still live there.  We stayed at her Uncle Mark's house and the boys had a great time riding horses, shooting guns, feeding the chickens, learning to rope, riding the tractor, and visiting family.  We were able to see where "papa" went to school, the house he grew up in, and the farm he worked on.  We attended church and met some of his old friends.  It was a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.
Brayden and Parker riding on "Sugar" and Taylor riding on "Heaven".  Nikki did not really like being on the horses.
Brayden and Parker shooting guns with Uncle Mark.  Taylor and Parker feeding the Lamb.  Brayden holding "Sean" the footless Rooster.
Brayden learning to rope and Uncle Mark driving the tractor.  The boys in front of Papa's school.
We stopped at Treasure Falls on the west side of Wolf Creek Pass.
We stopped at Four Corners....Nikki in Utah, Brayden in Colorado, Taylor in New Mexico, and Parker in Arizona. 

The boys grew "bug eyes" from watching too many movies in the car!!

Your pictures look great and your vacation sounds like it was SOOOO fun. We hope that we can get together again before summer is over. It's coming too fast to an end! We are in UT now, but we will be home on the 12th.

How fun, did you guys stop and see Kyle and his family? They are about 45 minutes away from 4 corners. I love all that natural beauty in that part of the country. So much to see and do.
