We have been very busy since I last posted. We took a mini-vacation to the Royal Gorge which was awesome! We spent a day at Buckskin Joe's and road a miniature train out to view the Royal Gorge. Regan sat by herself in her own seat but I was right behind her making sure she didn't make any quick moves and fall out. The next day we took a real train on a two hour trip through the Gorge and under the bridge. We saw many rafters on the Arkansas River and it looked like so much fun. I have some friends coming in September and we are going to White water raft so I am really excited after seeing it!

On our way home we stopped in Colorado Springs to see the Garden of the Gods and Seven Falls. I will try to post some pictures of the weekend so you can see what I am talking about. Colorado is absolutely beautiful and I know the pictures won't do it justice.

My parents arrived on Tuesday night and we went to the zoo on Wednesday. It was very hot so we only stayed a couple of hours. Thursday we took a trip to Golden and toured the Coors Brewery. On our way back I drove them through the Red Rocks but we were unable to see the ampitheatre because there was a Toby Keith concert that night. Friday we went to Chuck E. Cheese so we could show Grandpa and Grandma Regan's favorite place to go! Saturday morning we went to the Museum and toured the Titanic exhibit which was absolutely awesome and worth the money to see. It was amazing to see the artifacts that were brought up after 60+ years under the water. The exhibit is in Denver until January I believe and then it will go to another museum.

Ryan and my dad golfed Sat. afternoon and mom and dad left this morning with Regan. We were a little leary about sending her with them because of the 10 hr drive but she was so anxious to go. She promised she would be good so I hope that she is! She is going to stay with my mom and dad in Iowa this week and then go to SD to see my sister's family on Thursday and then camping with Ryan's family in Yankton for the weekend. We aren't sure when she will return, I guess that will be up to everyone out there. She especially misses her 9 cousins and also her Grandpas and Grandmas. I think she will be just fine.

I plan on getting a lot done while Regan is gone. We still aren't settled and I really want to tackle the garage!

I will write more later. Enjoy the pictures!
