Here are a few pictures of the cows--the reason we travel so far (about 7 hours for us in Layton), spend a ton on groceries, spend a ton on gas to get there, spend a ton on propane trying to stay warm in our trailer, eat more food than we usually consume in a two week period of time in a mere 4-5 days, freeze our hineys off, put up with getting up each morning at 5 am, collapsing into bed each night at 11 pm, sit for hours on end in a truck during an almost blinding snow storm, put up with all the mud--in your truck, in your trailer, in your hair, EVERYWHERE!, play endless card games with the family, have absouletely NO privacy for any amount of time, pee on the mountain behind a horse trailer--or possibly IN the horse trailer when people are around, have it sooooo dang cold outside that the water all freezes up and you can't shower for 2-3 days, wear so dang many clothes to stay warm that you have to start 15 minutes before you actually need to pee to get down to bare skin!, eat yummy food, have great conversations with family, enjoy the outdoors, get to see your hunky hubby on a horse with some chaps on, see some REALLY magnificent scenery and feel blessed for where we live, eat dutch oven food, eat TONS of homemade cookies and meals, laugh with your mother-in-law and feel grateful that she is a part of your life, admire your father-in-law for all that he does for each and every person in our big ol' family and to see how cute he is with his wife of 55 plus years, to witness some really beautiful sunsets and if it's not your turn to cook breakfast you get to see the sunrises, have scripture study as an extended family and to do family prayer as a large group, to see how awesome some of your nephews are--love that Dustin!, these are but a few of the reasons we go to Colorado each fall and actually look forward to it all! Looking forward to next October already!
