The Cliff Dwellers



Our next stop was Mesa Verde in Colorado. Four Corners wasn't to far from Mesa Verde so we went straight there after visiting Four Corners. We ended up staying 2 nights there which made it a little more relaxing. We all got showers (yeah) and had some really good meals. Exploring all the cliff dwellings was really fun too. We went to a couple of visitor centers as well. The kids were really good and even asked questions. I think they learned a lot. There were areas were we had to climb up and down ladders to gain access to the dwellings. Aubrey being the climber that she is did really great. There was even a 10 foot ladder that we all had to scale. We were a little worried that Aubrey might have trouble because they require everyone to have two hands on the ladder at all times. She had no problem with them at all, and she wasn't even two yet at the time. Everyone was very impressed. We were able to see deer and other wild life from our camp site, and the kids thought that was great. All in all it was a great choice to stay there. We all had fun and were able to relax a little. Next stop Price UT and the Dinosaur Museum.

That is a never ending vacation! I dont have enough patience to be around my kids that long.I love them but to be strapped in the car with them for 2700 miles I'd rather shoot off my left foot! We had a ton of fun with you guys! Thanks for joining us for dinner!
