Jordan♥Katana♥Skye♥Kate: August 2012

We always seem to find the most random things when we travel. We saw this on the way to Colorado and said we were going to stop on the way back so we did. The "hole in the rock" is this huge boulder that this man made into his house. It used to be a restaurant and they just lived behind it. It was pretty crazy and smart. They had a little petting zoo beside it. We got to see and feed a camel, zebra, buffalo, deer, goats, a donkey, an ostrich. It was so much fun. We fed the camel with our mouths, it was a little scary at first but so fun, and Skye even liked it.

It was so cool!!!

We planned on going to Colorado and seeing Jordan's grandparents and also getting our stuff back from our storage unit...but that didn't happen. Oh the Robinson luck. We got there and had a good time hanging out, fishing and eating the Jordan's Nanny, grandpa, Bob & Marsha. I did learn one thing fishing with the boys...fish have tongues. I did not know that until Jordan was pulling the hook out of ones mouth and I looked then he dropped it on my foot....and I screamed....like a little girl. Skye did SOO good traveling until about 10 hours then she just had it. She was so tired of sitting in the car, but I am not complaining at all she is SUCH an amazing little girl. We were in Colorado from June 8 - June 11. We got up in the morning and hooked up the trailer to our car and started off. We couldn't even get above 40 mph just going on a normal road... Then we had to pass through Wolf Creek Pass, here's what Wikipedia says about it. Wolf Creek Pass (el. 10,857 ft.) is a high mountain pass on the Continental Divide, in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. It is the route through which U.S. Highway 160 passes from the San Luis Valley into southwest Colorado on its way to New Mexico and Arizona. The pass is notable as inspiration of a C. W. McCall song. The pass is significantly steep on either side (7 to 8% in most places), and can be dangerous in winter. Well we were about half way down and it wasn't going good. All of a sudden Jordan says the brakes aren't working and me of course I don't believe and tell him shut up don't mess around (I wonder why, he never messes around like that...) Then I realized he was serious and I have never been that scared in my whole life ever. We were coming up on a corner and there was a EXTREMELY steep drop off to our right and just a mountain on our left. Some how, by the grace of God, Jordan pulled emergency brake and we stopped and pulled over. We called Jordan's grandparents and they came to meet us to get the trailer. When they came to meet us they pulled over behind us and their front brakes were smoking on their big truck. It is seriously the craziest feeling know you could've died and just thinking about what it would've been like. It really made me appreciate my life in a whole new way. I am so thankful to just be alive and I am thankful for every single minute I have with my family and the people I care about. It was so nice for Jordan to see his family and for them to get to spend time with Skye. I really enjoyed fishing with my sweet husband and his family. Here's some pictures from our trip.
