250 and counting.....

I just happened to notice that this is my 250th post on this blog.  Here's what we've been up to lately.....with about 250 pictures to show you....
In case you missed the big news that we got a minivan....even though I've probably said about 250 times that I will never drive a minivan....we decided it might be necessary if we wanted to drive 1800 miles to Colorado....and we did....painfully.  It wasn't painful b/c the kids were horrible.  They weren't.  I just don't like driving that long. 3 days on the road is too many for me.  But we did it and here we are....spending time with friends, enjoying the mountains and the dry weather.  Miles is taking a class and next week our Staff conference for Campus Crusade for Christ will begin where we will hear a big announcement revealing the new name of our organization.  How will I get used to not calling it Campus Crusade after being involved for more than 14 years?
The kids are having a great time here with friends.....so here's the pictures of them....

 hanging out in Boulder....

Hudson might have his 1st crush....

And then, hanging out at our favorite park on the Poudre River with a natural playground....

And last night spending time with some good friends from Alabama and getting to see our kids play together....

We haven't done any real hiking yet, but we will.....with more pictures to come....
