Family Vacation: Part 4

Friday was our last full day and it was kind of a "free" day where we could do whatever we wanted because we didn't have anything really planned. 

Bobby and I took the girls to the Durango Community Recreation Center which was big with LOTS to do, but we went specifically for the indoor/outdoor splash park. The girls had a great time. Their favorite thing was the castle inside that had a slide on each side.

     

Then, after naptime, we headed to Downtown Durango again, this time during the day.

Saturday, we headed home...or at least got on the road to make the 19 hour drive back towards home.  Matt and Amanda had to leave early to catch a flight in Denver. My parents attempted to do the Million Dollar Skyway again, but do to incompetent workers, they were allowed all the way to the construction site...given the okay by the flagger...only to be turned away with literally a half mile to go before they were to the other side of the construction, which they got to with 5 minutes to spare. My dad was not a happy camper to say the least, so we ended up following each other to some place in Kansas for the night.

You can tell my dad is still upset at this point :)

"How much does Grandma love you?" "This much!"

We met the friendliest chipmunks...

The entire drive we were following a storm, but luckily we drove just along its edge and my parents didn't get too wet. We got to see a beautiful rainbow which turned into a double rainbow for miles and miles!

We got home at midnight on Sunday. The girls sure were troopers on this trip!  We did have to wash Natalie's carseat on the way out to Colorado even though she had a pull-up on at that time, she must have really had to go!  She did great telling us when she had to go potty, but it was usually in the middle of nowhere or only 5 minutes after we had just left.  Our neighbors were probably glad we were finally home because our grass was just a "little" bit high :)

We had a great vacation with family! Can't wait to do it again!
