Fruita, Colorado

After going from Montrose to Grand Junction, we stopped in Fruita to go to the Dinosaur Museum there.  I didn't know much about it but it sounded like fun and the boys loved it. It was a good stop before we started our over 4 hr drive the rest of the way home.

These two guys actually move too!

How fun is that to be inside a dinosaur's heart?

September Happenings

We celebrated our 10 anniversary on August 31st! Carson was in Fontanelle but later that weekend, we were able to leave the boys with my parents, THANK YOU, and spend the night at the Destinations Inn in Idaho Falls. We went out to dinner at the good ole' Sandpiper and enjoyed sitting next to the Snake River.

Rob was really looking forward to the first part of September because he started preschool.  The first day was a bit hard but then it was like, "just let me go to school already mom!" The school is right behind our house so it's nice to walk to school and go out the back yard to pick him up.

 "I'm ready to go!"

We took a quick trip to Montrost, CO to see Carson who was working there. After he was done working, we spent a day in Gunnison, CO visiting Rob's best bud, Oakley, who met us there, along with his mom, Cindy and little sister, Mati.

The Combs in August

In the beginning of August, the boys and I tagged along with Carson to Salt Lake for some training he was doing there.  We stayed in a hotel but spent a lot of time with my sister and her kids. We went to the Discovery Gateway and also to Jump Around Utah.

Then later in the month, my parents came out to Dutch John to visit.  They brought the boat out too. It was the first time I'd been out on the water after living here almost 3 years. It was great!

July Activities

At the start of July, we enjoyed having our good friends from Colorado, Matt and Cindy, come to Dutch John for the 4th of July. We enjoyed the scout breakfast on the morning of the 2nd, the bbq lunch and car show at the Lodge, and the fireworks that night. Amazingly during lunch, there were dark clouds and later thunder, but we completely missed the downpour in Dutch John (6 miles away) because we were up at the Lodge.

Let's not forget the Annual Cabin Trip that we always go on in July! We had a great time with our family in Island Park and West Yellowstone, oh ya, that was a rainout.

Time Flies When You Are Having Fun!

Well, now that things have calmed down, I can update my blog. Okay, call me lazy!

We left Wednesday before Memorial Day to go stay the night in Park City because we had tickets for the next day for "Day with Thomas" in Heber. We swam at the hotel pool and had a good time.

Daniel riding Thomas, he just liked to watch the countryside go by.

After we were done in Heber, Carson took Rob on the Frontrunner train to Ogden.

He really liked the train!

We also took a little road trip to Colorado in June. Carson had a meeting in Montrose, so we went a day early and stayed in Glenwood Springs. Our good friends Matt and Cindy came up from Buena Vista and we played around at the Glenwood Springs Adventure Park.

I wouldn't ride the alpine coaster but Rob road it with daddy!

If you look closely, Rob is smiling. He had a great time!

Looking out the tram on the way down!

This looks crazy but there were people surfing on the river that runs through Glenwood Springs.

After Carson's meeting in Montrose, on the way home we stopped at East Four Mile Draw for a little walk. We finished our walk just as a little rain storm blew in.
