So Jolie is 3 weeks old now and today my life as a stay at home mom of four kids ages 4 and under begins! It was supposed to start last Monday, but my in-laws were kind enough to give me a break for one more week by taking the two older kids home with them for a few days. But now they are back, Paul is at work, and I am here with the four little ones trying to carefully plan my first steps in hopes that they will lead us down a path where we can flourish as a family of six. To celebrate, I am going to start blogging on a regular basis in hopes that it will keep you all more updated, me more accountable, and serve as a type of journal for my kids to be able to read when they get older.

Day 19 Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah We left our hotel in Durango and headed for Telluride. Instead of taking the faster way, we decided to drive the million-dollar highway (a more scenic route). It was a beautiful drive, and the roads luckily were dry. Along the way, we stopped at the Ouray Ice Park. It is a river canyon that the town sprays with water creating a multitude of icicles, and attracts many ice climbers. After leaving the awesome spot, we continued on to Telluride. Once there, the free public gondola was our destination. We boarded on the edge of the city and rode it up to the highest (next) station.

After that, we boarded the gondola again, and this time continued on to the town of Mountain Village, where we caught another gondola, and something called the Chondola because it had a gondola car sp...

Day 13 Utah After leaving St. George, we drove to Zion, the first National Park out of five in Utah. We got the information wrong about shuttles, so we ended up driving through a smaller section of the park, but still got plenty of amazing views. Next, we drove through Kanab to Wire Pass (the same trailhead as The Wave). The last section of the drive was far trickier than we had imagined due to a ton of mud from snowmelt (every car was filthy, and one got stuck). There was also a gully/wash that was so steep, we had to remove our hitch rack and stash it in the bushes to get across, and still scraped the bottom of our car. The drive was worth it in the end, and we left with plenty of pictures, videos, and memories of the experience. Luckily, the mud had mostly dried by the time we left, so we had an easier drive back to Kanab where we stayed the night.
