The fact that I’m writing a blog post is by no means because my to do list is short, but it might be because writing one is part of the priority part of that list. Do you ever let the thought cross your mind that once you were done school (be it by graduation or summer break), time will be more abundant? I sure did and what a mistake it was! But as I wrote in an email today, it was probably because we were so busy that I enjoyed it so much. The day after I finished school, we left for Oklahoma to visit family. Traveling with my family is the most pleasant way to travel. And I know I’m not biased. 😉 We had such a relaxing time, listening to stories/messages, reading visiting, or just simply enjoying the scenery in silence. We went to Susy and Walter’s in Oklahoma and enjoyed the summer-like weather there. Groszmama and Mama’s siblings and their families from Texas came there as well and we celebrated Easter with them (Easter egg hunt and all). We went zip lining on their homemade zip line and all got a nice sun burn.

Half the fun of going down was the thrill of being pulled back up!

Although she didn’t zip-line, I’m sure Groszmama enjoyed the day just as much as we did.

The hunt begins…

Then we headed to Colorado to visit Daddy’s sister and her family. We had a good time with them even though they were busy and we were tired. They took us to a park for a disco breakfast. It was very good!

I know it’s kind of late for a gingerbread house but it was a fine source of entertainment.

On our way home from there, we visited Royal Gorge. The effects of the fire were still quite obvious and I was disappointed that the train was not in working order yet. They weren’t running the gondolas or cable-cars that day either so we couldn’t ride those either. Zip lining there would have worked only for Daddy and Edgar because the rest of us were either wearing skirts or weren’t heavy enough. And no one wanted to take the swing! 😉
