Colorado.

Blogger is being super lame right now and won't let me post all the photos that I have, so I'll have to post the rest of the photos of our trip later.

This past weekend myself, my husband and his younger sister Janae took a road trip to Colorado Springs, home of the Air Force Academy. One of Mark and Janae's aunts, Michelle, teaches at the Air Force Academy. Since BYU was playing Air Force in Colorado this year we thought it would be fun to go to the game and visit with Michelle and Uncle Andrew for a weekend and go to the game.

The drive was gorgeous and we got to see the changing leaves of the gorgeous Colorado aspens. Unfortunately I didn't any photos of the leaves, but just imagine the most beautiful changing leaves, and that's pretty much exactly what we saw.

Now for some pictures:

Did I mention that Andrew is a chef? In addition to visiting them for their coolness, we also got to eat the most delicious foods. We were also sent back to Utah with a bowl full of chili and a bag of homemade rolls. So delicious!

We had a good time at the game, even though BYU lost big time. It was awesome to be at the stadium on September 11th and see all of the remembrance activities that took place there. There were many guests of honor and my heart swelled with pride as I watched the cadets march onto the field in their uniforms, their own hearts filled with pride and sacrifice as they serve their country. It was an awesome sight and definitely worth the drive to witness a game like that!

More pictures to come soon!
