This year after looking at several options Dad's parents found a cabin about 20 miles outside Durango Colorado. None of us had really spent much time there before so this was kind of a fun change. We went to a Gold Mine one day (it's a closed mine, but they have tours - they take you inside the mine in an actual mine train car and then tell you all sorts of stuff inside. When you're done you come out and can pan for gold). It was quite interesting and the kids enjoyed themselves. We found a little hike on the way back to the cabin. Dad carried Nathan part of the way up - I had Austin in the baby carrier on my back. We were supposed to be hiking to some lake. We found a body of water (I'm not sure it was the right one, but we called it good) and Nathan wanted Dad to dunk his head in the water, which Dad was more than happy to do. On the way back, Megan was tired and sick of walking so Dad let her ride on his shoulders. Nathan also wanted a ride, so I had Nathan on my shoulders and Austin on my back (I felt like I was a couple inches shorter when we got to the bottom of the trail). On Sunday we were in charge of the family devotional. We talked about Lehi's dream - and then we made a little rope course through the trees where each family walked along blind folded. Nathan was a peeker-Mr. Peekerson, which was pretty hilarious to watch. We love our Memorial Day vacations.
