So finally a recap on our trip to Arizona...I know. I'm terrible. Bad blogger.
So we made our first trip down to Arizona to visit Ryan's parents since they made the big move....and they officially bought a house! Ryan was super excited to drive down...he's a crazy man who loves him a road trip! Luckily our girls are pretty good on the road too...especially if you give them a Nintendo DS...
 |
| Syncing the DS games....pure joy! |
The trip down was wonderful! It was so nice to drive and watch the weather get nicer and nicer! By the end of day 1 we made it to Denver, CO. It was g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s.! We got there and it was still a little sunny, which reminded us that the girls still need sunglasses...so we made a totally necessary trip to Target!
 |
| Cheese! |
 |
| Diva! |
This was what we saw when we drove into Denver....Talk about taking your breath away! I couldn't imagine being able to see that everyday!
We got in a little swim time at our hotel and then got a good nights sleep so we could get another early start the next morning. Then began our trek over the mountains....
I decided that I could sooo live in the mountains! They are wonderful! And all the wildlife!! Highlight of the trip!!
 |
| Mule Deer |
 |
| Elk |
 |
| Buffalo |
 |
| Big Horned Sheep |
 |
| And fluffy white kitties....oh wait. |
The animals were
by far my favorite part of the trip!! But we saw a ton of great scenery also!
 |
| Mountain tunnels... |
 |
| Real gold mines! |
 |
| Snow capped mountains....ooooh.....aaaah! |
 |
| Ski hill and half pipes in Vail....b.e.a.utiful!! |
 |
| Colorado River (we honestly crossed it about 29 times) |
 |
| More pretty mountains! |
 |
| Some Utah striped mountains....again...oooh! |
 |
| Hole in the wall of a mountain... |
 |
| Hole in the Rock...heehee...cool! |
 |
| Some pretty lake in Utah...I really can't remember! |
 |
| Cool thingy.... |
 |
| Another cool thingy..... |
 |
| Some more cool thingy's..... |
We were starting to drag at this point...we were getting a little tired. Even I was asking "Are we there yet??"...
Then finally after all that pretty stuff...we made it to Arizona!! We hit our last fill up before hitting our destination! Everyone was happy! Ryan even smiled while washing windows!
 |
| Men's work...washing windows.... |
Then began our search for a specific Arizona beauty... the girls did their best to show us what they looked like...can you guess??
Could you guess it?? It's the saguaro cactus! We began seeing them between Flagstaff and Pheonix...they were beaut's! Huge!! The girls loved them!!
Thus ends the pics and story of our trip to Arizona...I'll continue tomorrow with some more pics...
XOXO,
