The trip is coming to an end







Well all,
We headed out on our trip back "East" now. We packed up this AM and headed to Coffee on the Rocks shop to have the kids get a fly fishing lesson from a 40 year fly-fishing veteran. He was phenomenal and the kids got the hang of it, especially Kristyn. It made her daddy so proud. Then, the trek back East led us through Big Thompson Canyon which was breathtaking. We drove and the kids read as we headed to the next destination and final stopping point on our Colorado journey, (Budweiser Brewery to see the Clydesdales and get a drink). After a half hour tour of Fort Collins, we made it to the brewery to see the horses, sample a drink and eat a bite of lunch in the car. As we headed for Kearney, Nebraska, thunderstorms built up behind us as temps soared to 95 ( a far cry from the cool Colorado air!) After a potty and gas break, we rolled into the Ramada Inn at 6:30 after losing an hour. We ordered Dominoes pizza and unloaded a bit. Then, time for a dip in the "cool" pool and off to dreamland. The kids aren't too psyched about the 5 hour trip home tomorrow, but it will be good to sleep in our own beds finally. Thanks for following us on this wonderful family vacation!!! It has been amazing at every turn. God is so good!!!
