June Vacations Part I - The Drives and Utah

June was a fast paced month. Right after school and piano and baseball and scouts ended, we packed up and headed for the mountains. We made our way through Colorado where the boys saw snow for the first time in a long time, then went to visit cousins and Aunts and Uncles in Utah. Here are the first photos from that part of June:

Stopped to check out sort of a random National Monument in Aztec, New Mexico. We'd never heard of it, but stopped for breakfasts at a McDonalds right by it, so thought we'd check it out.

Walked around the Aztec ruins, crawled through the tunnels, and learned a little about how life was way back when.

I think this was on the drive back, but the boys never miss a chance to check out dinosaur related things.

High up in the Colorado mountain pass, they discovered some white frozen substance called snow. It's not something you see often in Texas, so they were excited about it.

On the way back I made everyone stop at this random volcano I saw from the highway. We drove up to the top and then hiked around the crater. It was hot, it was bug infested, but overall kind of cool.

Hung out with the Utah Sellers and Cousin Wyatt from Missouri, here climbing to the waterfall.

Even Grandma Cindy came along!

 

Even got to spend some time with Uncle Andy and Aunt Theresa!
