The Colorado Trip

On August, 3rd, we left with J-dogs family in their 15 passenger van, to go to Pagosa Springs, Colorado . We got a little past tiny Claude, TX when the van broke down. All ELEVEN of us piled out while the dads tried to fix it. Pretty soon a State Trooper saw us and stopped to help. We ended up getting towed back to Claude to get fixed. We spent a night there (that puts us one day behind schedule) and left about noon the next day. We finally got to Amarillo, where we were supposed to spend the previous night, and promptly broke down again. In a cemetery. There we played Tips and I chunked rocks at turtles in a pond. Luckily there was a transmission store close by. We spent TWO WHOLE DAYS in Amarillo (3 days behind)!! It turned out being kinda fun and I got an awesome knife. Leaving on the third day, we made to our condo in CO at about ten pm. We hiked, swam, tubed, saw ancient ruins, went on a trail ride, hiked some more, rode a train... Oh yeah, we also saw a bear at our condo. Speaking of, I saw a momma and a baby bear while on the train and only one other person saw them. We shopped in Durango for a time... On the way home the car broke down twice, but we did finally make it back. Very, er, eventful, wouldn't you say?

Tips in the cemetery...

11 people, 7 passenger car.

Will we make it home?

Update on project: Mustang

Well, I know I haven't blogged in a long time and I will now tell you why. In short, the land that we were living on had to be sold so we had to move out by July, 14. My Dad had been working in Bryan for over a year so we went to stay with J-dog's family, in Bryan, for a while. Then, while visiting my grandparents in Dallas, my Dad got a job offer as a well paid construction manager. Work was drying up in Bryan anyway, so he took the job. We then moved in with my grandparents in Dallas and are currently still there. Yes, that means we had to sell my horses. I miss them. That also means I am now 5 1/2 hours away from Firefly. :*(  Now that you're updated on why I haven't blogged, I'm gonna blog!
