Trip to Colorado Springs

17 August 2008

Jason and I found really cheap tickets to Denver so we decided to take a spontaneous trip to see his family! I hadn't been to his house so we thought this would be the perfect opportunity! Jason's brother, Daniel, and his family also went home that same weekend. It was really fun to see everyone! Jason's family took me to the army base where we went shopping at the commissary (the base's grocery store), went to the mini mall, and a few other stores. It was very interesting! It was raining the day we went and a huge loud speaker announced over the entire base a "thunderstorm warning". Jason took me for a tour of his town and showed me places he used to work and where he used to go when he lived there. It was so much fun! Of course we had to take a picture of the "1-800 Got Junk" truck. We also went to WaterWorld with Dan and Amanda and their two little boys. We loved the waterslides! Jason and I decided to go on a really HUGE waterslide. It was five stories high and dropped straight down. I was excited, but Jason was a little scared. We waited in line for about 30 minutes as we kept climbing higher and higher. By the time we got to the top, Jason starting asking me if I was sure that we wanted to do this. I told him that I was all for it, but if he wanted to go down we could. He said he was fine, but when it was our turn, he was pretty scared. He asked if we wanted to go. I thought he was asking if we wanted to go down the slide so I said yes! He was actually asking if we wanted to go back down instead of going down the slide. When I said yes he started heading for the stairs! haha! When he realized I still wanted to go, he said he would go first. He screamed the whole way down, but he loved it. When I met him at the bottom he had a huge smile on his face. 
Jason also took me to SuperTarget because I love Target! We didn't have much time, but it was a lot of fun to just walk around the store. I wish we had one in Idaho Falls! It's probably good that we don't though. :) 
I was also able to spend a lot of time with Jason's dad while we were there. We sat down on Sunday afternoon and went through a few picture albums while his dad explained each pi
cture to me. It was neat to see his army days when he served in Germany and Korea. He is such a neat man and I'm very grateful that he served his country.
When it was time for us to go home, we got a late start to the airport. We barely made our plane! We had to run down the terminal and we had it just as they were closing the door to the plane. I think they must have felt sorry for us because they let us on! Thank goodness! We were so happy that we made it that we took a picture to document it!

Fishing with the Fam

07 August 2008



We went fishing and had a picnic with some of our family this weekend! Ashley, Shaun, Kenzlee, Brock, Ralph, and Norma were able to go with us for the day. We had so much fun! We drove to a nearby lake and ate fried chicken, and then the boys headed out to fish! Kenzlee liked to stay next to the brook and throw rocks in. She liked the sound it made. She got to see a lot of butterflies, which she thought was pretty cool. Brock was in a happy mood (like always) and giggled at everything. The boys didn't catch any fish, but they sure had fun trying! On our way home we stopped for some square ice cream at a gas station (yum.....huckleberry). All in all it was a great day!

This was the closest we could get to Kenzlee smiling for the camera. She was ignoring everyone that day. It's cute now...... probably won't be so cute in a few years.


Brock had a great time fishing with us! He loved looking at the camera.

This is his "cool dude" look.
