The kids took swim lessons for two weeks at the swim and tennis club nearby. The kiddos were in three different classes but were all in the pool at the same time, which was great. No one had to wait, either bored or cold and wet, for anyone else to be done with their lessons. Except Jane, that is, but of course she was an angel.

That weekend, we drove up to Glenwood Springs. We had originally planned the trip because Justin was teaching training on Monday and Tuesday, so we planned to go up Friday night and stay with my uncle Stephen for a couple nights before heading to the hotel. Unfortunately, Justin's training got cancelled, but we decided to still go up and see my family and the town. My mom was up in Glenwood for the month of July teaching summer school, and Stephen graciously offered to take us all rafting when we came up. My aunt Robin came out from California for the trip, and Charlene came up from Denver, so it was a merry gathering.

This picture was taken on the drive home. We stopped briefly at the Continental Divide to use the bathrooms and I had to snap a photo. We took a longer but more scenic route home that took us through Aspen and over Independence Pass to get to the divide. The Pass was very narrow in parts and lacked a guardrail, so my anxiety was running high as Justin navigated the windy road. We made it home safely though, and got to see some incredibly beautiful views on the way.
