Wow, we are finally home after 2 weeks on the road. Let me recap the end of our vacation.
Day 11: Wednesday
We almost reserved another room in Red River, but decided that we could see everything there was to see and still leave midafternoon. We started with a hike by the river. The water was so cold that you couldn't hold your feet in it for more than a few minutes at a time.
Then, we went for a ride up the mountain on the ski lift. Scotty and Brian rode together on the way up and I held Boyd in his snuggly. Thank goodness for the snuggly because Boyd got restless and tried to climb out of the ski lift. The ride took about 15-20 minutes and Boyd fell asleep about 2 minutes before we got off. We hiked around a little at the top and decided to head back down the mountain before Boyd woke up. Surprise, surprise! Boyd woke up as soon as we got on the lift. Scotty and I tried to entertain him the whole way down.
We ate pizza for lunch and did a little shopping. You can't go to the Rocky Mountains without a trip to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Then we headed out for Lubbock.

Day 12: Thursday
We took the boys to Texas Tech to take pictures. First stop, Red Raider Outfitters, to make sure everyone was outfitted for the pictures. We took pictures in front of the Tech Seal, Will Rogers, and Memorial Circle. After pictures, Scotty wanted to see our classroom. :) We took him into Holden Hall and showed him a lecture hall with students in it. He was very surprised at how big it was.
Day 13: Friday
Grammy and I took the boys to the Texas Tech museum to see the dinosaurs. Like any 4 year old, Scotty was ready to move to the next exhibit after 2-3 seconds. It was a short visit.
Day 14: Saturday
No big events. Visited family and left Saturday afternoon for home. We finally made it home about 8:30 Saturday night to find out that our neighborhood was having a pool party across the street. Of course, we felt the need to socialize. So we scarfed down dinner and threw on our swimsuits.
