This year, since we are having great weather, we decided to go visit Corey’s parents for spring break. The first day we spent most of it in the car. Usually the drive is about 10 hours. This time we wanted to go through Utah to hand off some baby stuff to Corey’s brother and his wife. We left at 6:30am and got to Orem by 10:30am. We got to talk and go out to lunch with Russell and Hannah. She looks so cute with her little baby bump. It was so nice to clean out our storage area and get rid of most of the baby stuff. By 12:30pm we were back on the road. Colorado here we come. We stopped in Echo canyon and Corey tells me that his 3rd great aunt was named after the canyon because she was born there while migrating with the pioneers. So we had to stop and take a picture. We also got to see some ground squirrels up close. We did finally make it to Greeley Colorado by 9:30pm. We were tired and it didn’t take us long to get settled.

Day two was a blast. Corey’s parents had to work for a few hours that day so we decided to go to the family funplex in Greeley. We didn’t bring the camera because we were afraid it would get wet. This place had a zero depth water play area, a lazy river, a couple of big slides and a normal swimming area. We all had a blast playing in the water. It was easy to spend a few hours there. When we got back we ate some lunch and walked over to Nammi’s work to pick her up. We went for a walk around the park. That is when we noticed how nice and warm it was. It ended up being in the upper 70s. By the time we made it back to grandma and grandpa’s we were pooped. Corey and Sophia took a nice nap in the recliner. The boys had fun playing with all the old/new to them toys. These toys were toys that Corey played with when he was a kid. We thought this was a great day and so much fun.

Did Corey mention that Echo Squires (the afforementioned baby) was with the Martin-Willey handcart company?
No, he did not say that it was from the Martin-Willey Handcart Company. I was thinking about that while we were driving thru there how hard it would be to walk and pull handcarts through there without roads.
