We have been crazy busy over here! We have spent the last couple of weeks packing out our Junction city house, trying to rent it (yes, we found someone), getting that house cleaned, having a short vacation to Colorado and then coming to Leavenworth to set up a new house here. We have been VERY busy unpacking the boxes and getting ready for house guests at the end of the week...believe it or not Isaac will be 1 YEAR OLD in a few short days and so we have family coming into town!!! We still can't believe that it has been a year since we were at the hospital having Isaac! :) Also, today is our 7 year anniversary and that is hard to believe as well!!! I feel so blessed that I am married to an incredible man and father!
So now on to catching up with pictures of our trip. This is how we began our Colorado adventure....
Does anyone recoginze what we are in? The inside of a tow truck of course!!!! Yep, we started our trip broken down about 70 miles down the road. Uh Oh.....after a very long day and not being able to find an available rental car within a 100 miles of us we drove to Kansas City (PLEASE NOTE: KC is the opposite direction of Colorado) to pick up my sister's car at the Kansas City airport....we are soooo thankful that it was there and she was gracious enough to let us borrow it while she is visiting our family in Washington. 
Here is what Isaac was wanting to do the whole time in the tow truck....:) Yes, that is the stick shifter & he must have wanted to take over the driving of the BIG TRUCK!
You may also wonder why we have a picture of a car with a dent in it on our blog? (it's fixed now Brenda) Well, if our car breaking down wasn't enough the BOBCAT (the animal) that we hit with my sister's car literally put a little dent in our trip. Shortly after this we got in the worst thunderstorm in our life and so we pulled over at the next town to get a hotel room. We figured that God was telling us something in the first 12 hours of our trip, so we got the hint and got off the road. In the morning with no rain in sight we continued on to our first stop Colorado Springs...
Because of the big delay in our trip we only got to spend a few hours in Colorado Springs with our friends from Italy Jon & Rebecca Post and their girls Emma and Reece before we headed to Vail (we had reservations we couldn't change). We were able to come back and spend a night on our return...more of that in our next post...
The picture is of Isaac in the awesome baby backpack that we borrowed from them.

We have definitely had trips like that. One for instance was on our first trip to KS. We got to OK City and realized we had left Dan's orders in TX. We had to drive all the way back to get them so he could check in the next day! And speaking of hitting animals, I'll have to tell you about the drive home from our honeymoon later. There's not enough space here to tell that whole story! :)
