Getting There - Colorado

Okay - Colorado. So we went back in May and now it's ... July. Hmmm. Well, here's how we made it up to Colorado with 3 small children:


Rest stop on the way to Amarillo. This one is our favorite - it has lots of slides, rings, ladders, etc. The girls love it & John Michael even had fun crawling around on the slides. It would be perfect if they would put a canopy over it. We were lucky and it was only in the 70s and overcast that day. During the peak of the summer you can't touch any parts of it - way too hot!


And what did we do when we got to Amarillo? Went to the park after dinner to see if the kids might be able to sleep better & handle being in the car all of the next day. It sort of worked ...


A stroll in the park in Amarillo.

And last, our big stop (although not our only!) in Raton on the way to Creede, CO from Amarillo.
There's a nice park there & we usually pack a lunch or buy Subway sandwiches, eat and let the kids play for awhile. This was Gracie's idea for this time:
