A trip to see family

We were in the midst of the move from KS to CO and decided since we had time it would be great to take a couple of weeks to go see family.  So we dumped our junk at my cousin Nikki's and took off stopping first in UT to see Ric's Uncle Dean and Aunt Stella.  We were traveling with Ed and Francine, Ric's dad.  Then we continued on to Nevada.

We went on to Fernley staying in Ed's travel trailer.  Visiting with Nathan and Nadine on their birthday.  And into Reno seeing Ric's grandparents.
























We went on to Arizona to see Rhonda and Chris.  Ric was able to see a bit of Hoover Dam.  I had seen it as a child and was glad he could see it.











Spent some time with Rhonda, Tyler, Jordan and Cameron.  We showed them the fun time of Geocaching.






We were able to have lunch with Marc and Ellen while in Phoenix.  Thank you so much for traveling over from Globe so we could see you!
They were our youth pastors when we were teens!  Now pastoring in Globe, AZ!


 Then on to see Christina!  We had fun seeing her home and some  sites nearby.  And of course... more Geocaching.
