Rough Day

So, yesterday we were supposed to head to Missouri for a family reunion this coming week end...of which I am employed to take some photos of.

We're still here in Colorado and Vince is working on the van...do I really need to say more? We are hoping everything will go well and we can leave either tonight or tomorrow.

Anna is excited only for the promise of a pool being at the hotel we will be staying in. I am hoping to visit my family but time will be tight. I'm not positive if that will happen or not, which reminds me, I need to call my mom today.

Anything and everything that would and could go wrong went bad yesterday and Vince's stress level was way high. High enough to punch holes in the walls, thankfully, I was able to keep him cooled down enough to avoid that. He's better today but not all together happy of what happened yesterday and the resulting extra work he is having to put in today on the van.

I pray things will go more smoothly today and we can head out with out any more issues.

Hitting the trails!

To kick off our week-end we headed out this morning to Pike National Forest Trail Head at Waldo Canyon. We brought along our dog, Buster for the venture.

Quite honestly, we meant to go to a different trail until we came to the conclusion we'd missed our exit, than we came upon this one. So glad we did as it was a much better trail and the girls loved it. I only say the girls as the boys had it made, sitting in their nice and comfy packs on our backs.

We want to get the girls some hiking boots next time and made do for walking sticks with plain old wooden dowels from Home Depot, haha. The girls decorated them up with markers and they got a lot compliments on them from other hikers as we walked the trails.
