On the 5th of July Rock, Meagan, Nate and I went to Colorado to visit my brother and our friends the Schroeders. It was hard to leave Utah after only seeing the kids for one day especially when Nichole cried. She was not liking us leaving her so much and missed us so much the first time. The ride to Denver normally takes 8 hours but because of the weekend that we went and the fact that everyone decided to come home that day it took us almost 11 hours. A lot of it was going anywhere between the high speed of 7 and the dangerous speed of 25 on the freeway through the canyon's. At which point Meagan and I got so giggly that the boys were wondering what we were on. After we arrived we went to dinner and then headed over to the Schroeders. We only visited with Trish for a few minutes before we were just all pooped out and had to go to bed.

The next morning Rock, Meagan, Pete, Nate and I went to Elich Garden's. We had a great time hanging out with each other. I have decided that I am not a young kid anymore and my body just doesn't respond to roller coasters as it used to. I went on about 4 in a row and felt as if I was all done on roller coasters for a long time.
Pete on the mind eraser. Nate and I sat down to go on it and it wasn't working properly so they kicked everyone off the ride. Later after lunch everyone but me decided to go on it again. I am so glad that I didn't Rock, Meagan, and Nate all got really sick afterwards. Although I don't think that it was directly related to this particular ride.
This ride drops you down about 149 feet. It was a lot of fun. I dare say it was my favorite ride I went on that day. After the amusement park we all went back to Pete's house and played Guitar Hero and he had a BBQ for us.
The next morning Trish, John, Nate and I got on our Sunday best to go to the temple. We drove out there only to find that it was closed for cleaning. We were totally bummed. Nate and I went left the temple and went to hang out with the rest of the family and had sushi (which I had had before and wasn't fond of but had this time and really liked) and hung out at Pete's house for a while. We headed back to the Schroeders around 5 o'clock and went out to eat with their family. We watched movies and just hung out for the rest of the night.
The next morning we left Colorful Colorado. As I went to leave the Schroder's the youngest little boy said to me "Good bye Hon. Apparently he heard Nate call me that and thought that it was my name. I had an awesome time hanging out with Trish and her family. Thank you Schroeders.
My cute little nephew Joe. Too bad Rocky had to give him the wedgie of his life.
Me and my handsome brother's. The one in the grey shirt is Pete and Rock is in the blue. Thank you Pete for letting us invade your space for a couple of days. I had a ton of fun. The only problem is that it made me miss you more. I love you brother.
Kendel and I just became the best of friends. She is such a sweetie.
