Our drive to Ouray was uneventful, but surrounded by God's magnificent creation! We made a stop in Montrose at Target to get a few things requested by my mom. I thought of this as my last look at civilization for several days so I treated myself to a Starbucks Mocha Mint Frap. We also got a few food items at Nature's Grocer, and we were on our way.
The boys, my dad, my brother, and a few of his kids were at the gate to welcome us when we arrived at the campground. What a special welcome...lots of hugs and we finally were with the boys :). It has been a long ten days! We were excited to see my brother's family, too. It has been over a year since we have seen their smiling faces.
After taking some time to get settled in our cozy little cabin, we packed a picnic lunch and everyone headed to swim in the hot springs. We had a few sun showers, but overall a great time. Jonathan and Ben loved the watersides, and David liked the hot, hot part of the springs (like 102 degrees). I was amazed at how we were surrounded my beautiful mountains...I shouldn't be that surprised, we are at an elevation of 7,700+ feet.
One more thing...
I think I am going to UNPLUG for a few days. God has really laid on my heart to disconnect from technology for the next few days. I am not exactly sure how long, but I know I need to put it all away for a little while. David will continue to post pics and share our stories. I am sure there will be plenty now that the whole gang is together.
If ya'll could just post a picture or two or 10 of my grandchildren, I would appreciate it. :)
