Yesterday we woke up and decided to go to Durango. Yes! We are CRAZY like that sometimes. There have been plenty of times that we have driven hours to only spend a small amount of time where we were going. :) The drive there took about 4 hours and the drive home took about 3.
We ate lunch at a place in downtown Durango called Zia Taqueria. The kids had some awesome homemade burritos (ha ha Amanda! I know what your thinking!), and Casey and I had a steak bowl with the best cilantro rice ever!!!
After lunch we headed to a fish hatchery, and saw tons of baby trout! This was big Casey's favorite part of the day! When he retires his dream would be to work at a hatchery! He
would also like to be a park ranger! :)
After the hatchery we went to a wildlife museum and saw all the animals native to the area.
Next we went to the river. The kids had a blast, and realized you don't need a swimsuit to have fun in the water. They skipped rocks....ok, they tried. They waded in the water, and had a blast watching all the tubing, and rafting that the locals were enjoying. We also enjoyed a park that was close to the river.
At the end of the day the kids thought this would be the perfect place to live. Skiing in the winter, biking, hiking, and tubing in the summer. The weather was perfect too! We had a great day, and can't wait to go back for a longer stay! :)
On another note, can any of you see the annoying photobucket message that shows up on my blog? I'm not sure how it got there. I haven't moved or deleted anything from my blog or photobucket. Does anyone know how I can remove the message? If so, thanks in advance!!
We saw a lot of people biking across this bridge! Our plan for next summer!
Can you tell Casey is almost falling in this picture? I thought we was going to get soaked!
The boys chillin' while the girls played on the playground.
Almost time to go home.
Before heading home Neen had her first grape soda! She was in LOVE!!!!!On the way home Neen told us she loved Mirango! (Durango)
Another funny thing Neen says is Markywave (microwave)
The other night Anna said exspost (supposed). I think this is the last word she says a little different. I asked her to spell exspost and this is how she spelled it. :) I had to tell her how to say it, and she sheepishly grinned at me. I love those little mis said words.

I love the pictures of the kids in the river, especially the one where Casey looks like he is seconds from falling. Glad he was able to keep his balance. Grape Crush is a good one. No doubt she loves it!
SO fun!!!!
