This past week has been so much fun! On Tuesday July 13th Jordyn was able to get her cast off! The xray showed that the bone wasn't completely healed yet, so the pins stayed in. She was so scared to move her arm or even let us get close to it. By the end of the night she was able to straighten it a little bit. Also, that evening my mom, dad & my sister Amberlee came to visit!!! It was so nice to be able to see them again after about 7 weeks. Jordyn was so excited! For about an hour before they got there she was pacing the floor and asking every 5 minutes if they were close! It took her a little bit to get to bed that night! Wednesday we really didn't do much but hang around the house & visit. That night we all went to the Drive-In movie. It was Amber's 1st experience at a Drive-In. We saw Eclipse! It was fun to sit outside, eat candy, and watch the movie. The Drive-In always shows a double feature. The second movie was Letters to Juliet, but by 11:30 we were all too tired to stay for it!
Thursday we went over McClure Pass and headed over to Glenwood Springs to the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. You take a tram up the side of the mountain to the very top! There they have Stelagtight caves. It's pretty interesting to walk through these caves that are millions of years old! It was a very nice 52 degrees inside the caves. I could've stayed there all day!
Jordyn was a little scared at first to go into the caves, but after a moment she thought they were really cool!
They also had different rides and activities for the families! Jordyn's favorite thing to do was the Alpine Slide. Amber said her first time down she screamed a bit, but she kept asking to go back again!
Cody & Amber both were talked in to riding Demon the Bull! Both did really well & I think they both actually enjoyed it a bit!
Then there was this Giant Swing Ride! It swings you 1,300 feet above the Colorado River.
Cody & Amber went on it twice. Once on both side of the swing. It kind of freaked them out a bit. It was a pretty fun day!!
Friday we went into Grand Junction to do a little bit of shopping. It was hot in the "Big City"!
Saturday we did a few projects around the house and tried to stay cool! This week, along with the rest of the country, Colorado had a heat wave. Our average high in Paonia is about 88-92. This week was 96-98. I know that compared to St.George or Mesquite is nothing, but in a house without air conditioning that's HOT! Of course the evenings would cool down to about low 60's!
Today the family had to head home to the heat. About an hour after they left I really started to miss them again. I really enjoyed their visit! It was nice to have someone from home come visit us & enjoy our new area with us! In about 3 weeks we will be going up the the annual Four Wheeler Trip where we will see the rest of the family! I think I can make it until then!
Jordyn was sad to see everyone leave. I know she really enjoyed the sleepovers that she had with Amber & Grandma & Grandpa!
Thanks family for the fun week! We miss you a lot!! See you in 3 weeks!
