Dove Creek, Co

Last week Evan, Kelsey and I made a 2,2o0 mile drive to Colorado to visit both sets of his grandparents and to meet his parents who were driving home from their 18 month mission in Boston. We had a rough start of Kelsey getting croup the night before we left, and then my stupidity of not paying attention to a tire issue on our car and getting a flat in the middle of nowhere at night outside of Needles, Az. That was horrid! We ended up putting our spare on, driving to Needles to find a 'lovely' motel and then getting up the next morning to drive another 60 miles (on our donut) to Kingman, Az because apparently our tires were to fancy for Needles to keep them in stock. After that it was pretty much smooth sailing.
From there we drove through Flagstaff and then onto Albuquerque, NM where we stayed over night. Evan had to take us to 'El Pinto' world famous mexican restaurant in Albuquerque. And yes, it was really good. After that, lots of heartburn and other fun stuff and onto Sanford, Co. where his parents were with Grandpa Faucette (I have these pics on another computer that I need to get.)
After Sanford we went to Dove Creek, Co where his mom is from (these are her parents and sister above). We had such a great time with everyone and it was so good to see them. This was the first time Kelsey met her great-grandparents and some of her distant cousins. Kinser and Kelsey were two peas in a pod, it was so sweet she just wanted to sit on his lap all the time.
We drove out in the country to see the homestead where Great-Grandpa was born. That was so cool to see the actual house is still there!
