Well, Gabe had to go do interviews for a new officer in Grand Junction. Fall Break was starting and we had no plans on doing anything exciting. So last Thursday after Charles got out of school for Fall Break, we loaded up and drove to Grand Junction. The kids were great travelers. They were so excited to go stay in a hotel and swim. When we got to Grand Junction, it was late, but Gabe was a good sport and took the kids swimming anyway. On Friday, Gabe went to work and the kids and I walked to the mall. When Gabe got off we went to Dinosaur Journey. It was fun, but no worth the money. They had a few robotic dinosaurs that the kids either loved or were scared to death of.
One thing I will say about Dinosaur Journey was they had a lot of hands on and interactive things for the kids. They really enjoyed it.
When we were all done with the dinosaurs, we drove to Colorado National Monument. It was beautiful. We drove around the park and got out and hiked a little. We stopped at the visitor's center and just really enjoyed the beauty Heavenly Father has given us.
This was the kids' favorite rock. It was called Balanced Rock.
This was Gabe's favorite rock because it looks like a ram's head.
When finished taking in nature, we went for barbeque and back to the hotel for another swimming pool visit. We spent the night again and drove back to Castle Rock on Saturday morning. It was a quick trip, but it was a lot of fun spending time as a family.
