There are no words to describe the love you hold for a sister. Our visit with Lolly and her family was a reminder that no matter the circumstance a sister will always be a joy to the heart and love without end.
Our many hikes

Stopped in the little town of Glenwood Springs for lunch. Want to come back and explore more of this town – really cute and the food was great!
Dinosaur National Monument
This was the coolest place and I had no idea it existed. Fossilized bones of crocodiles, turtles and 10 species of dinosaurs have been brought to view by excavating river sediment in the 150 million year old Morrison Formation. This Monument houses the only place in the world where you can view and even touch more than 1,500 partially exposed dinosaur bones.
Earl Douglas, paleontologist, opened this capsule in 1909 which lead to the discovery of 10 different species of dinosaurs. Many of the finest museums around the country display skeletons excavated from here.

Made it to Kitsy and Van’s
This is absolutely crazy! I’ve never seen anything that made dinosaurs real like this for me. They always seem like figments of a story book — until now seeing these pictures! That is absolutely crazy!
Your words about seeing Lolly are so very beautiful. 🙏
Your journey is so amazing. So glad to see you guys so happy. The pictures are beautiful! Brandon and I were talking about you guys just the other day. We hope you all are having the time of your life.
