Day Two- of our move

I know that I was distracted from the story of our move, but I wanted to add those pictures and movies in so you could see what Colorado is about. I will start on the next part of our trip. Paul had been fussy that night because he was teething, so my parent took Paul in their room so that Joshua and I could sleep more. We left the hotel at 11:00 am. We were all tired still, but wanted to reach Colorado as soon as possible. We drove through Arizona without stopping. It was hot in Arizona as it was in Nevada and California. We drove until 12:30 pm where we stopped in St. George, Utah for lunch. Then we headed on the road because we wanted to arrive in Colorado as soon as possible. While we were driving it started to rain, which helped cool things down alot. It was raining huge drops, but it only lasted a short time. We passed through Zion National Park. That is one of our favorite spots and I wish we had time to stop and see it, but that was not to be during this trip. There was alot of farm land around and horse pastures. They were all so beautiful for they were surrounded by green. Our next stop was Beaver, Utah. It is such a quite little town and I loved stopping there. My dad thought that there was a campground there that we could stop at and rest, but we could not find it. So instead we stopped at a McDonald's that had a playground and let Paul play while we all rested. That was Paul's first time in a playground and boy did he having fun. It was so cute seeing him discover things for the first time. We ended up staying there longer than we had intented to, and it was quite late when we headed back on the road. We stopped in Richmond to fill up our gas tanks and that was the last stop before we found a hotel to spend the night. We were hoping to make it to Grand Junction, Colorado before stopping. Then we would have only 6 more hours to drive. We were all tired and ended up stopping in Green River, Utah. This is the end of the second day.
These pictures are of Arizona, Utah, Beaver, Richmond (don't worry I have them marked so you know which state and city is which), and of course us! The move is of Paul playing in the tunnel at the play ground in Beaver, Utah.
