hey allbody!!!
We’re here in the Rockies of Colorado… WOW, these mountains are just fabulous!!! The mountain passes can be rather scary, sometimes there are sheer cliffs on the side of the road with no side rails – definitely makes you gasp at times.
We are having so much fun though – we’ve been to the Black Canyon, are heading to 4 Corners today, going back up to CO Springs next week and Dad, Claudia, and I are planning to climb Pike’s Peak if the weather is still okay… Yesterday we went to a charming little western town and just walked around the town for several hours. Then we rented horses at a livery and our whole family went horseback riding up a mountain. 
The view was amazing, and I was so proud of my little sibs!! We’re all in one motor home – definitely tests the family ties and bonds. 
Just imagine, 8 people in one motor home – eating, sleeping, driving, traveling, and being together 24/7. If I have an attitude about something, there’s no running away and pretending nothing’s there…!! Is building great family memories though!!
Almost ready to head out again.. Oh, I had my first warm shower since Monday on Friday morning… Wow, felt WONDERFUL, I forgot how much showers are so special.
Ciao,
