Day Three- of our move

I had forgotten to say that my sister is in Australia while all this way happening. She was visiting her fiancee, William. He is is Australia right now so that he can become a resident and then move out to the United States. We miss her very much and can't wait for her to come back home. She is a great help with the kids and we could have used her for the ride up to Colorado. Marlene will be coming back to Colorado on July 19. Now back to the trip. We were all very excited about having only 6 more hours of driving time. We all decided to wake up early in the morning and head out. Peter's last feeding was a 7:30 am (Colorado time) and we packed up and went our way. We did not eat breakfast until a little later and my mom and I slept in the car. We arrived in Colorado on July 15, 2008 at 9:00 am. We stopped at Burger King for breakfast and Paul had fun playing on the play ground. He was so excited that he could hardly sit down to eat. After a quick breakfast, we continued on our way. We stopping in Grand Junction, Colorado and the weather was in the 70's. We drove most of the way with the windows down. We also stopped in Rifle, Colorado and looked at their visitor center. My mom started to peel off the lettering of our Explorer because it said Riverside, California and the new name of the shop is going to be Blevins Violins and Sons (there is a picture of it on the slide show). Once more we were on the road and did not stop until lunch time. When we stopped at a gas station to buy food, then went to a park to eat lunch. The park was right next to the Colorado River. Paul loved looking at the river and probably would have went in the River. He also like to walk around the park. We looked in the gift shop before leaving. We drove until we were an half hour away, then we stopped by a grocery store to buy food before we reached Ed's house. Joshua and Paul played outside while Grandpa and Grandma Steed went in the buy the food. Peter and I joined Paul and Joshua as soon as I was done feeding him. We were soon on our way and when we arrived at Ed's house, we all were ready to leave the car. We visited with Ed and then unloaded the car. It was very nice to be able to be out of the car. We all slept very well. This is the end of our trip to Colorado.
