In August, after I returned home from California, my Dad and I took a drive to see my sister, Anne, and soon-to-be brother-in-law, Eric, in Alamosa, Colorado. We were excited to meet the newest addition to their family, Jessie, a Blue Heeler.
We were excited to see you too Shelby,
and Jake too.
The night that we arrived, Annie had to work until after mid-night. Eric made us a fabulous meal of grilled squash, Chilles rellenos, and vegetable tamales. 
The next day Eric gave us a tour of their greenhouse.
We had breakfast in a little diner in town. It was great to see Anne and Eric, even if we just had a short time together. Annie had to go back to work after breakfast.
After we said good-bye to Anne, Eric showed us his gorgeous photography exhibit at the Alamosa Public Library.
Eric was a wonderful host. He accompanied us out to the Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa in a little town called Moffat, Colorado, where we soaked in the thermal pools as a storm rolled in. Then we said good-bye to Eric too, and started on our way back to Utah. Thank you, Eric and Anne. We can't wait to see you again this month!
