Like I said, we left Friday around 1:30 and meet up with our good friends in Spanish Fork canyon. We started on our way to Colorado National Monument. This is just about 10 miles outside of Fruita. It took us about 5 1/2 hours to get there. We pulled into our campsite in the dark but got set up pretty quick. We pretty much just went to bed after getting unhooked and settled. The next morning the kids wanted to ride their jeeps around camp. It was so cute. They loved driving over rocks and driving in the dirt.
We then took a short hike with all in tow. Tyler did awesome. We figured he hiked about 2 miles in the morning and only asked to be picked up when we got back to the truck. Sydney was in her snugli and she did great too. We then went back and ate lunch, gave the kids a nap and then went on another short hike. Tyler had his best bud there with him so they were together the whole time on all the short hikes which I think really helped.
On Sunday we did another short hike that was a bit more of a climb but again all did well. Syd fell asleep on the way out.
We headed for home after we ate lunch. The weather was perfect and we didn't have any problems to speak of other than trying to figure out how the percolator worked to have a cup of coffee in the mornings. We are so excited to use the trailer next spring/summer. Again, thanks mom and dad... we love it.

Oh good, I'm glad you are coming!
My parent's are just feeling like they are getting older and un-easy about pulling it with an older truck. They might get a small motorhome but who knows... My dad is close to 80 and I think if the continue to travel they will motel it...
