Top 10 Vacation Pictures

Since so many of you have asked about our vacation, I thought I'd post my TOP 10 favorite pictures. We had an incredible time driving all across SW Colorado and parts of New Mexico. 

(Above) One of the rare family pictures with me included!

(Above) I think I'm going to have to frame this one of Bryce fishing. We kept stopping everywhere to fish.  The mountains and ponds look so peaceful and serene.

This was our crazy adventure. I have no idea how I got in the paddling seat (but look at those muscles!) See the kids excited faces in the front with Rob holding them as tight as he can (like that will help). You'll have to look close to see poor Natalie's terrified face next to me in the middle. She screamed everytime the rapids hit our raft. 


(Above) We got the potty chair out of the attic for our trip and Natalie really enjoyed re-connecting with it. She kept needing to stop along the highway. I don't know why this is one my top ten favorites - it just makes me smile. 

My boys...

(Above) This was at a Frontier Town we visited at the Royal Gorge. They had a whole town set in the 1800's. Natalie was pretending she was in jail in the Sheriff's office. She is quickly becoming a rival with Alyssa for the "Biggest Drama Queen" award. She was surprisingly our best traveler, spending hours playing with her feet as one toe talked back to another toe. 

There is just something incredibly handsome about a happy man on a horse! (Thank goodness you can't smell him...)
