Our summer...so far!

We have had a busy summer so far. In just 3 short weeks, we have been to South Dakota, where we were able to see the Crazy Horse memorial and Mount Rushmore. What an amazing adventure! Our hotel was conveniently located right across the street from Bedrock City...home of the Flintstones! The kids had a blast playing their way through the small amusement park. We were a bit concerned when the storm sirens went off while we were in the giftshop. The clerks told us not to worry--they went off ALL the time! But we decided to run as fast as we could back to the hotel before it started raining on us. Turns out we were under a tornado warning during the time we were at the park! Sometime after we got back to the hotel, a tornado actually touched down just 3 miles away! Go figure! After the warning was dropped, we decided to brave the hail and rain to go get pizza. Just another normal vacation for us.

Now we are in Estes Park, Colorado. I came here when I was in high school on a mission trip with my church. We just bought an RV, and we wanted to take it on a short trip first...kind of to break it in. Estes Park seemed like a great location since it's only about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Falcon. Not too close, but not too far. This place is so beautiful! I cannot think of a better way to spend time with my three favorite guys (and the puppies, too!). Tomorrow we are heading to a fishing derby at Lake Estes, which is conveniently located right across from the campground. We promised the boys hotdogs grilled over the fire, too. Not sure what the afternoon holds, but I am sure we will be making some great memories.
