She's Home!!

This last week we took a trip to my parents in Durango for a little family reunion.  My little sister, Taylor, got home from a mission in Brazil and all of my family came to welcome her home.  It was a busy, exciting, and fun week.  There was a lot of food, family, and flowers and it was really hard to come home.  

On the way down we took a longer scenic route and drove to central CO to see Bishop's Castle.  This is a castle-like building that one man has spent the past 40 years building.  You can just walk around any where you like.  It is far from ADA approved but was still fun to see.  

The castle was huge, as you can see and it was a little nerve wracking to walk around with Crew.  

You could go all the way up in the towers and the dome.  It took a lot of stair climbing but we both were able to get to the top tower.  My legs were achy for days after.  

We camped at the Sand Dunes just outside Alamosa before heading on into Durango.  It was like a giant sand box.  Needless to say we all had a great time playing around.

The welcome home and the welcome committee. 

 Dad took several of us up high on 4-wheel only roads past Silverton.  There were amazing mountain views and lots of old mining towns and structures. 

Sister's Night Out!  These don't happen very often.

Cousins.  My older sister, Heidi is due 3 mos after me.
