Epic Road Trip

So before we left Altus we did an epic roadtrip to AZ, UT and CO.
We stayed at the View Hotel in Monument Valley
 The first day we one shot it to Flagstaff, AZ, and on the way stopped at the meteor crater outside Winslow, AZ
 Pretty amazing



 party in the "Home-tel"
 The next day we visited Bearizona
 watching the otters
our bears and theirs
 another big hole in the ground...we made it to the Grand Canyon



 wildlife
 and snow
 incredible

 the road out of monument valley to Utah
 this is from Forrest Gump when he stops running



 in Utah we went to Union Station with Popper and GG


 and the dinosaur museum, of course
 and city council
 and Farr's Ice Cream. We also celebrated Easter and went to Salt Lake Comic Con, but the sheer volume of pictures will warrant their own post.
 then home by way of the Air Force Academy


 it was pretty fun to be the family up on the wall after so many years since being on the other side






 How cute is this little guy?
my daughter said it was a beautiful campus and she would like to go to school there...right up until she watched the video of basic training and Freshman year
