Refreshed

We went on a wonderful mini vacation as a family this past weekend. We drove out to Black canyon, about 5 hours west of here, to view the most breathtaking cliffs I have ever seen. We did a little hiking around there and then drove to our hotel in Montrose for the night.

The next morning, we drove back to Cotopaxi for our rafting trip. It was a little breezy when we arrived, and it started to rain. However, it cleared up by the time we headed out. We had a blast on the river. As Obie says, our favorite part was "the waves" (the rapids). We even splurged and bought all of the pictures that they took of us on the river. We spent the night at another hotel and leisurely drove back home the next morning.

It wasn't long, and it wasn't perfect, but the change of pace and recreational activities were exactly what I needed. And I think our family needed the time together bonding as well. It's been a rough few months, and we've got some busy weeks ahead of us. I hope this will hold us and keep us strong as we move forward.
