From May 29
th to June 16
th this summer, my family took a mega trip out west. We planned to visit all of Jamie and my seven living Grandparents and several National parks. It was a good trip. I will post a photo chronicle of the trip in three installments. This is the first.

This is how we roll! Taking a break at a city park in Colby, KS. Notice the Big Wheel strapped on the back, very cool.

We spent the night with friends, Kris and Lori
Bockting in Parker, CO.

Taking an evening hike near where we camped in Sylvan Lake State Park, Colorado

Isaac and I took a nice hike in Arches National Park, Utah. We stayed at a nice campground in
Moab, UT near the entrance of the park.

The wildlife museum in our hotel, Majestic View Lodge.
Springdale, UT.

I have a feeling I will return here someday soon for a backpack; taking in the beauty at Zion National Park

We enjoyed a wholesome dinner and fun at this restaurant in rural California. An added bonus was that a train flew by every several minutes.
