Philip has been wanting to go to Mesa Verde for the past 11 years(since we started making the drive to Durango) We finally decided this would be a good day to hit it. Philip had been when he was a child and wanted to share his fascination for ancient ruins with us. We all enjoyed ourselves...it's pretty amazing to see how people in history lived. I imagine one day people will be amazed at how we live...I wonder if they felt as blessed as we do? I feel very blessed, yet one day others may think I'm not. Hmmm?
I had been to Arches but Philip and the kids had never been. We got there at about 5 PM and it was hotter than hot -- but we enjoyed it. The kids had a great time "bouldering" We walked on a small path called "windows" What a beautiful area of our country.
These parks were a great way to finish our "grateful for our nation" weekend.:)

Wow- that's quite an accomplishment. I bet the kids are already planning their next visits.
We are glad you had a safe trip and enjoyed visiting loved ones in Colorado and those National Parks help us to appreciate the ancient cultures abd scenic beauties of the region.
Love you all and always,
Grandpa Bart
Love the pictures! (Tell me about the free pass for kids with disabilities.)
Making those stops are always worth the effort. I was looking at the photo's (smiling) your kids are getting so big. They have grown.
Glad you had a safe/fun trip!
Glad to know that disabilities bring SOME benefit. ;) We need to get together. I know you have been widowing it alot. Park? Soon?
We loved Mesa Verde when we went last year!! We were worried that Evan would be scared to climb up the ladders, but he did great! So beautiful. And Arches.....another favorite place. Glad you had fun!
I love Arches. We went there back when Jackson was a baby. It is such a fun place to get cool pictures. What an amazing world we live in! Utah truly has it all!!!
Love the collages! and I'm curious about where the ladder you were all climbing down into a hold led to? I still miss you guys. Come back sooner!
Mom, they are called Kiva's, they are their spiritual rooms.
