The Parry Shorts: Delta, CO

What do you do when your van is in the shop with no air conditioning and won't be fixed in time for you to leave on vacation? Yes, that is right, you take reliable vehicle #2. Not quite as much room as the van, but it worked great for this trip although it was awesome to came back home to the mini van!

Welcome to Delta, CO!

We stayed in Denver on Thursday night and drove the rest of the way to Delta on Friday and arrived in Delta around 2-3 pm. Layne and I crashed for a bit while Aunt Nell took over and entertained the kiddos! We then headed to the Delta Lake to walk dog Duke for a bit, play, and let the kiddos run! Janell had mentioned putt putt golf as a possibility and Caden would not let it go, so despite the fact that it was sprinkling and at times more than sprinkling, we headed out to play putt putt before supper. We did have the place all to ourselves and about half way through the rain did stop--very fun golf course and a great way to start our vacation! Uncle Jake and Aunt Nell took us to an Italian restaurant that night in Delta and then we headed back to their house to relax after a long day.

Saturday morning we headed up to the Grand Mesa for Moose Days! Both of our kids love moose--in part thanks to Janell and Jake for introducing them to the animal Moose! The visitor center had moose games--guess what a moose will eat, craft time to make your own moose antlers, a place to touch moose fur, and a scavengar hunt to look for a moose collar and then you got your very own stuffed moose--perfect start to the morning. It was also only around 65 degrees that morning and after having a heat stroke in KS, that weather felt amazing!
