The first few days of vacation were rough. Rough, as in Teddy woke up at 2 a.m. the first morning and 4 a.m. the second morning. Rough, as in we broke AJ hiking on the second day of hiking, so he couldn't walk the next day. (When Teddy can walk better than AJ, that's not a good sign.) Rough, as in the temperatures are way higher than normal for most areas we're visiting, making it potentially unsafe and at least unwise to stick to our plans and reservations.

Two days ago, we considered leaving Rocky Mountains to head home instead of continuing with two more weeks of stress, tears and complaints. But we decided to at least visit Dinosaur National Monument and then see if we needed to head home.

And then things turned around. AJ started walking and then running again. We figured it different plans that avoid most of the crazy heat or at least avoid camping in it. And we've all managed to have fun again, whether shuttle rides and ramps to run for Teddy to dinosaurs and cool caves for AJ to new beautiful places for Dave and I to explore.
Now, it hit 107 today, but at least we're not camping in it like we had planned. We're trying to figure out what we can control and make this a trip with great memories.
