A visit to Grand Junction

Right after school got out we made our annual journey to Grand Junction to see my family.  We hadn't been there since Christmas, so it was fun to get out of town for a little while.

Cameron and Grandpa had a colossal pillow fight one afternoon.  They had to stop when the oldest kid (my dad) got too rowdy.   

My grandparents celebrated 60 years of marriage while we were in town.  We had lunch at my  parents' house.  Luckily the weather was hot, so all the cousins could run around like crazy people.  

Tiernan was having deep conversation with "G-pa."  SO sweet and such precious memories.  He is so fortunate to know his great grandparents.

One afternoon we made a trip to the dinosaur museum in Fruita.  It was more fun this time because the twins were not quite so freaked out by the dinosaurs.

Tiernan was the only one brave enough to pose with the T-rex

Doesn't the "meteor" kind of look like a giant turd?

Some sweet cuddle time with Grandma

Tiernan went on a mountain bike ride with the men and was so proud of his wounds after he had a big crash.

We were able to celebrate Holden's 2nd birthday at Auntie Debbi's house.

Hiking at Mica Mines

My aunt is the police chief in Palisade, and she pulled a few strings so that we could take a tour of the fire station.  The boys got to try on gear and sit in the fire trucks.   

We always have such a great time seeing the whole family!
