Wyoming was really green with a bright blue sky.
My city kids excited about being so close to cows.
There it is! We passed it on our way to our hotel.
The town is really cute. We found a cool little shop where they make their own candy and serve ice cream. This was the quietest the boys had been all day!
We have to include the picture of the sign crossing into Wyoming. We missed the picture of the South Dakota sign, but there were "technical difficulties".
We stopped at a rest stop that had a play area. It was just what the boys needed!
By the time we get to our hotel, the kids are so amped up from sitting in the car all day. To release some of that energy, we've been taking them swimming. Here is Noah and his famous cannonball. It's a great action shot taken by Darian.
Even though the pool is indoors, it's pretty cold. The kids love the jacuzzi!
We have been talking to Erin on the computer through Skype every night. Luke kept trying to touch his Daddy. The kids miss Erin so much already and can't wait until he joins us next week!
Another travel day and nothing too exciting. Colorado is beautiful though.
Katie wanted a picture with the kids in front of the snow-topped mountains. 
We were sailing along smoothly and ran into this. Almost at a standstill for over 30 minutes!
We have seen so many trains! Luke loves them!
Our little sleepy boy at our hotel in Castle Rock.
And we're off!
Noah and Caleb lasted only about an hour into the drive.
Darian fell asleep around Flagstaff.
And finally Luke!
We made it to our first stop!
At bat and very focused.
He got to first!
Waiting patiently on second.
Antsy at third. He loves to cross home plate!
I was so excited yelling for Noah to run to home that I forgot I was supposed to be taking his picture! Oh well, it's a cute picture of him walking triumphantly back to the dugout.
Our little girl is growing up right before our eyes! Can you believe she's getting ready to start high school?
I know I'm horribly biased, but isn't she gorgeous?!
Darian with some of her best friends. Apparently blue is the hot color this season!
A cute picture after D's award ceremony. Darian got a few awards, but I think Erin was most proud of the "Excellence in Science". I was proud of the "President's Education" award for having a 4.0 GPA the entire school year.
Erin's brother was here for a visit and the kids absolutely adore him. He made it to Darian's awards ceremony the night before he left and we had to get some pictures of him with the kids. Luke wasn't in the mood to have his picture taken after sitting through the 2 1/2 hour ceremony!
It took a little while for Caleb to accept Luke after he was born, but they are now the best of friends.
