Colorado Trip - Part 1

We left on July 3rd for our summer vacation. We drove to Nebraska to spend the weekend with my parents. The town firework show was to be on July 3rd. Because of thunderstorms they postponed the show until the 5th, so for the 2nd year in a row we missed the show. We did get to do our own and watched the other neighbors do their. On Sunday we drove the eleven hours out to Delta, Colorado. About 1 1/2 hours away(about 10 p.m.) our car started making a weird sound. For the rest of the way we drove about 45 m.p.h. The next day Craig spent half the day trying to fix it. We did get to see some beautiful parts of Western Colorado. We went to Ouray, where we went on a small hike, with seven children five and under. We hiked up to the "baby bathtubs" and got to play in the stream for awhile. The water was freezing, but the kids didn't care. After our hike we went to the hot springs and did a little swimming. We had a great time in Delta and sad it will be our last time to go out there, but are excited that my sister is moving to Edmond!
