A Quick, but Enjoyable Trip!

At the end of February, we were privileged to take a quick trip to Colorado!! It was a rather quick trip, but so much fun! Ben had been shopping around for a mini van for us, and he found one for a good price . . . in Colorado! We were more than glad to take the opportunity to take a little "mini vacation" to go and pick up the van. We flew out on Monday morning and returned Thursday. We tried to split up the traveling days on the way back home, so that Shayla could survive the car seat. She did so well! She absolutely loved the airplane ride and did excellent all those hours buckled in her seat--hardly complained. We enjoyed a part of a day at Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs and then stopped in St. Louis and went to the top of the arch--quite a view! The van got us home safe and sound, and so far, we are very satisfied with it.

Ready for take-off!

All bundled up to go see the Arch--a long, cold, walk!
