most of it in the car.\u00a0 Usually the drive is about 10 hours.\u00a0 This time we wanted to go through Utah to hand off some baby stuff to Corey&#8217;s brother and his wife.\u00a0 We left at 6:30am and got to Orem by 10:30am.\u00a0 We got to talk and go out to lunch with Russell and Hannah.\u00a0 She looks so cute with her little baby bump.\u00a0 It was so nice to clean out our storage area and get rid of most of the baby stuff.\u00a0 By 12:30pm we were back on the road.\u00a0 Colorado here we come.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 So we had to stop and take a picture.\u00a0 We also got to see some ground squirrels up close.\u00a0 We did finally make it to Greeley Colorado by 9:30pm.\u00a0 We were tired and it didn&#8217;t take us long to get settled.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1002\" style=\"width: 165px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a

hours that day so we decided to go to the family funplex in Greeley.\u00a0 We didn&#8217;t bring the camera because we were afraid it would get wet.\u00a0 This place had a zero depth water play area, a lazy river, a couple of big slides and a normal swimming area.\u00a0 We all had a blast playing in the water.\u00a0 It was easy to spend a few hours there.\u00a0 When we got back we ate some lunch and walked over to Nammi&#8217;s work to pick her up.\u00a0 We went for a walk around the park.\u00a0 That is when we noticed how nice and warm it was.\u00a0 It ended up being in the upper 70s.\u00a0 By the time we made it back to grandma and grandpa&#8217;s we were pooped. \u00a0 Corey and Sophia took a nice nap in the recliner.\u00a0 The boys had fun playing with all the old\/new to them toys.\u00a0 These toys were toys that Corey played with when he was a kid.\u00a0 We thought this was a great day and so much fun.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1005\" style=\"width: 131px\"
