After another long day of driving, during which Timothy didn't cry hardly at all now that he was a pro like his sisters, we made it to Gma and Gpa Roueche's house in Colorado! We got to stay and visit with them for almost a whole week!
We went to parks, a splash pad, the rec center to go swimming, on hikes, play in the basement, play outside, play games, make cookies with grandma, went to go see Toy Story 4 at the theater with grandpa, and more. Timothy met Gpa Roueche for the first time and got reacquainted with Gma Roueche. The girls of course felt right at home because grandma and grandpa always make them feel so welcome and loved whenever they are around.
The highlight of the trip was when Timothy, dad, and I left to go to Texas for Uncle Sammy and Aunt Larissa's wedding and the girls got to stay with only grandma and grandpa. Then the party really got started. They of course got donuts, because it wouldn't be a visit with Gma and Gpa Roueche without donuts! They also had TWO movie nights, for one of them they watched the original Parent Trap. The girls had a super fun time and wished that we had stayed away longer so that they could have had more time with just grandma and grandpa in charge. Just as we got back from Texas, the night before we had to start our return trip, Clara started throwing up. She had caught the stomach bug from Timothy. It was not an ideal way to end an otherwise wonderful trip to visit Grandma and Grandpa.
The return trip was as expeditious as possible due to the stomach bug. We drove straight from Parker, CO to Twin Falls, ID where we stayed in a hotel. This was a major highlight among many highlights of the trip for the girls. We stayed in a hotel that had a pool and a fancy continental breakfast. Clara was too sick to swim in the pool, but we let her dip her feet in. Eliza and Leona had a blast swimming with dad while I packed up all of our luggage and got us ready to hit the road for the final leg of our trip. We made it home all in one piece after almost three weeks away from home. It is the longest trip we've ever taken and was so much fun, even with the stomach bug and general car sickness. I am so grateful for the fun and loving family that we get to be with forever and the time we got to spend together this summer.
