Sunday, August 5th we went to church in Leadville. We were happy to find a faithful LCMS congregation way up there in the mountains. And we were able to double their attendance that Sunday morning.
After church we stayed in Leadville to enjoy their “Boom Days Festival.”

We were all so excited when we finally made it to Colorado. The babies were thrilled to start seeing mountains. And those kept getting more and more mountainous!

From Odessa we would head to Vail Colorado. Phil kindly and mercifully decided to break up our drive from Odessa to Vail into two days. But we would need somewhere affordable to stay.
Through Air B&B Phil found a Yurt we could stay in for $68 a night.
Years from now we’ll be sitting around and someone will ask, “Remember that time we stayed in a Yurt?!” At least in my imagination someone’s gonna say that. I only knew what a yurt was because there was a time in my life that I was addicted to The Travel Channel. And I’ve see the documentary Babies in which one of the families from Mongolia lives in a yurt.

From Carlsbad we arrived in Roswell NM. I was thrilled with the expectation of an alien sighting but sadly there were far too few for my liking. I did snap a photo of one as we sped by a hotel at least. Phil was not in Roswell to see aliens. He had in mind seeing animals at the Spring River Park and Zoo. I guess that was fun too.
