Sibling time!

Eldon had five days off in a row the first weekend in March so we promptly made plans to drive 6 hours northeast to Montrose, Colorado. I grew up in this area and my older sister and younger brother still live there so we try to get there as often as possible. One of the many things we love about being mobile is how much more we can see family. My children know their cousins so much better then I ever knew mine!

Most of our time was filled with pretty low-key things like:

*Washing the truck and RV

*Eldon and my BIL changing the front jacks on our RV

*Shopping for groceries and at thrift stores

*A mile long walk with my sister

*A visit to the sale barn 

*Rollerblading and riding scooters

*Making new hideouts in the woods

*Riding dirt bikes

*Painting rocks with fingernail polish

*Playing hard

Nakita is 6 weeks older then Michael, who is 16 months older then Emily so these 3 play for hours! Here they are "selling" painted rocks.

Dirt bikes!

Ethan would ride all day long!

     Saturday was my sister's birthday so we all went to my brother's house Friday night and had cheesecake, smoked pork, roasted veggies, coleslaw, and french fries. It was so yummy, and super easy since we all contributed to the meal. 

     We made plans for the next day to spend an hour at a trampoline park. An hour may not seem long but the adults were whipped until it was all over :). I have very few pictures that aren't a big blur!

You may be able to spot Evan trying to swim his way out of the foam blocks, lol. 

     

Poor Ethan could never jump in very far and still about couldn't get out!

So much energy!

     Monday morning Eldon and Michael helped Brian catch over 4,000 chickens before we packed up and headed home. We were all a bit tired and grumpy but so glad we could fit this visit in!
