My parents will leave for their mission for the LDS church in a couple of weeks, and so they've been making the grand tour of the children/grandchildren (minus my brother's family in Singapore, but they'll get to see a bit of them during their mission to Malaysia). We were their last stop on the tour and though I expect they were exhausted from all the sightseeing around the US, they amiably allowed us to show them the Western Slope (the area of Colorado we live in.) It was a quick visit but we enjoyed it and it's gotten me excited about the outdoor wonders around us. Colorado may be no Va, but it's beauty is rampant in other ways than trees and oceans and I'm glad to live in a place with varied landscapes and lots of hiking opportunities. Here's a few photos from their visit...

We'll miss you, but are excited for the physical and spiritual adventures you'll experience over the next 18 months!
