Catching up and Trip to Durango Colorado

So I have been a slacker. I (Britta) went with my brother, Tyson, Grandparents on the Adamson side and some aunts and uncles to see where my dad lives, this trip was about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately Mike had to work so he wasn't able to come. We left Friday morning and stopped at Mesa Verde National Park. It was fun to see the Indian Ruins. I love doing stuff like that. We got into Durango in the evening and just hung out at my dad's apartment. The next morning we took the famous train that goes from Durango to Silverton. It was about a 4 hour trip, but was so worth it. It was absolutely beautiful. It took us through San Juan National Forest and the scenery is absolutely amazing. When we got to Silverton my dad met us there so we wouldn't have to take the train back. We explored Silverton and it was a cool place to see. I found it funny that they only had one paved road in the town. On our way back from Silverton my dad took us and showed us some cool places. The college there is on the top of the mountain and when you go up there you have the most amazing view. That night we went to this BBQ joint for dinner. I believe it was called Totally Texas BBQ but not positive. It was really neat. There is a deck you can sit on to eat and it overlooks the Animas river. After dinner we explored the different shops in Durango. It was kind of like Park City but bigger. It was a really fun trip. That part of Colorado is so beautiful.

We have been keeping busy. We go and support my brother every Friday night and watch his highschool games. Its fun watching him play. Last night we went to his Homecoming game and his team won the first homecoming game for Kearns High since 1996. I start one of my photography classes on Tuesday and I'm so excited, I will probably get lost on the Campus though. I got my new Nikon P6000 Camera last week and I love it. It's such an amazing camera. Mike is getting a new computer which he is so excited for. He has been wanting a new one for awhile and found an awesome deal on a Dell Quad Core system with an awesome video card setup and a huge hard drive. It will be nice for me to do video and picture editing on.

Also thanks for every one's votes on my hair. I decided to go with the change and change it to brown. It seemed to be the popular vote and also Mike's vote. The dogs also got hair cuts and when Mike was taking the picture of me so I could put it on the blog the dogs decided they wanted to have there picture taken and jumped up on my lap, so below I've included the picture of the dogs and me.

Here are some other pictures.
