Mesa Verde

July 5, 2015 By Christie

We LOVED Mesa Verde. I think we loved everything about the entire trip, but it was a good change of scenery for a bit and oh so beautiful driving up. The kids thought the ruins were really awesome, which they really are.

The Balcony House was really great. I was so proud of all the kids being so brave up the really tall towers! We were definitely the odd balls taking four kids with us. Or having four kids at all. DSC_0291 DSC_0293 DSC_0294 DSC_0295 DSC_0296 DSC_0303-001 DSC_0305-001 DSC_0310-001 DSC_0312-001 DSC_0314-001 DSC_0316-001 DSC_0317-001 DSC_0318-001 DSC_0319-001 DSC_0321-001

This part was my favorite. I felt totally safe (you can tell Carson did not!) but it was really neat scaling the side of the mountain. I guess the whole time I kept thinking about these people and their kids! I wonder how many of them got seriously injured or died from falling. So sad and pretty scary. Maybe it was no big deal maneuvering the mountainside for them, but I imagine I would be such a worried momma all the time!DSC_0323-001 DSC_0324-001 DSC_0326-001

I wish we had taken the tour of Cliff Palace. It was awesome.

It was great to see things through the binoculars because you could find all sorts of little dwellings or food storage areas along the cliffs. DSC_0342-001 DSC_0344-001

The kids loved getting their Junior Ranger badges! I didn’t go inside with them (Ruby asleep) but I guess the lady was pretty funny and giving the kids, especially Devon, a hard time. Oh, and she got Carson to promise to always eat his veggies :). DSC_0346 DSC_0348-001 DSC_0350-001

We left a whole lot of Benson Buddies around! The kids loved doing that. DSC_0352-001 DSC_0353-001 DSC_0355-001 DSC_0356-001 DSC_0360-001 DSC_0362-001 DSC_0363-001

And that’s a wrap for day 3!

Memorable Moments June 2015

~Ruby says "Thank You" when you give her anything. Except it's more like "Day Oooo." I love it. She's also trying harder to say please (or Peeeeze) for things she wants. What a polite little girl :).

~Yesterday Bailey came down with the Clone Trooper costume on, which is 4 sizes too big I'm pretty sure, and her bull horns on. It was awesome. And sums up this girl pretty darn well.

~Carson told us that he was the laughing stock of Primary on Sunday. He meant to say the Class Clown :).

~Devon's so funny these days. If you catch him doing something he shouldn't be, he gets an innocent little smile and then starts rolling his eyes everywhere except looking at you. :)
