Day 4 July 1, 2010

Ate a quick breakfast on the road,,, protein bars and bottles of milk for the kids, coffee, of course, for me...
Anxious now to get out of Kansas. Not to offend anyone, but Dorothy, why did you want to come back?
Kids and I are listening to the unabridged book on CD of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
It really helps the time go by... It has been a great love of mine, driving and listening to books on CD as I travel.
We got into Denver around 1pm and as we approached the city you could see the outline of the mountains beyond.
It was definitely time for a break, so we grabbed lunch at Denny's.
It was very exciting to be starting a new path, a new outlook. The mountains as always, show me that if anyone doubts God, they should be in this beautiful land and see the amazing beauty.
The kids were really curious and kept pointing out differences, such as the amazing amount of pine trees and lack of any other kind. They also noticed that a great many of them were dead.
I explained that the pine beetle was killing off the west's pine trees... It is really quite sad.
We thoroughly enjoyed out trip from Denver to Steamboat Springs. We loved seeing all of the amazingly huge houses, perched in the mountains.
We checked into our hotel, and my niece, Alicia and her two sweeties, Josh and Alaina came to see us and we enjoyed a walk along the river that lays directly behind our hotel, The Ironhorse Inn. The misquitos finally chased us indoors and we visited for a few hours in our hotel room.
It will be so nice to stay put for a few days and enjoy being with family.
