So, Eldorado Canyon State Park was beautiful. It was only a 45 minute drive from where we are staying so it was a perfect day trip. Owen showed some incredible endurance and even Sebastian did well. I think Sebastian doesn't really enjoy walking but enjoys climbing so that worked to my advantage. We started up one of the main trails and walked for quite awhile. I walked up the canyon to the point I felt that I wouldn’t want to carry Sebastian back on my shoulders any further in the case he got tired.

One of the amazing things to see at the park was the huge rocks that rose out of the ground and then watching folks climbing up them. They looked like ants from where we were at. It really gave us a good perspective of how large these formations were. I’m looking forward to visiting Red Rocks, Pikes Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park and Owen and I are looking forward to doing some camping at one or more of these places.


The boys and Cherity have been going a little stir crazy due to the lack of social interaction with other folks. This is definitely the hardest part of moving to a new area. I personally look forward to interaction but I don’t think it affects me as much as some folks. We have had some cookouts with some of my co-workers at our house and I am lucky enough to have some daily interaction with people from work along with the occasional pick up basketball games. That's enough for an introvert like me.

No bites on the house. It’s getting a bit depressing. I wish I could go back and do some updates. I don’t know that we’ll buy a house out here. We kind of like the idea of renting a house after trying to sell this house. I know since house prices are low it could work towards our benefit but if anyone back home wants to see use in less than 6 years it would be best if we rented. I feel like we would have more of a choice of where we could live as well and if we don’t like it we would have the flexibility to move. But the house has to sell before we seriously consider what we’re going to do.
