We just returned from a family road trip to Durango, CO. We went so Kirk could participate in a century road race (road biking). He did well, finished in four hours thirty-six minutes... he had a blast. We stayed at Kirk's sister's house... Dylan loved the toys, it was like a toy store for her, playing with someone else's toys. Tyler went under protest - she had fun a few times, but caught herself real quick and got surly. We just love her :). You can see in our pictures that Tyler opted out of the jaunt to the Animas River, we had fun and she watched TV in peace and quiet. You will notice a picture of Tyler in her favorite habitat... her bed. She is growing at an incredible pace this summer, she is nearly taller than I am and her feet are definitely larger than mine... she is going to be a tall young lady. Her competitive swim team starts next week, she is nervous, but excited at the same time. Dylan goes back to school next week and Tyler in two weeks... then we will be back to our routine.... and by then our Griswald Family style road trip will be a distant memory. They fought non stop in the car - amazingly, Kirk is on the computer planning another road trip for he and I to participate in a race in the next couple of months in Moab - won't be a short drive... he forgets quickly :). I am sure it will be fun wherever he drags us :) by that time I will be ready for a trip b/c by that time work school and grad school will be back in full swing and I will want a break. So up next, school shopping and getting the girls back into a routine (bed time, homework time, getting up in the morning, and regulating a normal diet)... wow, they will be in a bit of culture shock this weekend.
