Hardings and Hansens go to Colorado Springs

In June, we started the summer off with a trip to Colorado Springs to spend a week with Shanda and Preston and their two sweet kidos.

This came about because Guy and Sheridan were at a week-long camp and Trina and the other 3 boys - Marcus, Caleb and Mitchell felt this would be a good time for them to take a little trip. Since we didn't want Trina traveling that far alone, we went along and Garth drove.






Mitchell and Caleb are "enjoying" the trip.


















One of our regular stops between Springville, Utah and Colorado Springs, Colorado is at Fruita where they have a great visitors' center. The suspended helicopter is across the parking lot.















We arrived at Shanda's place and were delighted that Gavin would be there for the week. He and Marcus had a great time together and were good to allow Caleb to play with them.






Here Preston and Caleb were partners on the "Connect the Bones" game (I'm not sure that is what it is called but the cards would tell them what they had to "connect" and the winner stayed connected to his or her partner without falling down.
















Mitchell is intrigued with Talia'a wooden horse.
















Two sisters love one another - Shanda & Trina.












Milo, Talia and Mitchell take a ride in Talia's "car" with Garth's and Shanda's help.

















Like many before her, Talia succumbs to the urge to try to fit into "Papa's" Size 13 boots.



















Garth is showing off the "learning Tower" he built for Shanda's children.















Alas, all good times must come to an end and it is time for us to head back to Utah.
