Alamosa

A big highlight of our trip every year to Colorado is our visit to the Alamosa Clouses.  The girls love seeing their cousin Bella as well as Uncle Ben & Aunt Jenny.  They sure know how to show their Alaska relatives a good time!
 We were lucky enough to be able to spend the 4th of July with them which included a parade, a BBQ and fireworks!  I think the girls were the most excited about watching fireworks because in Alaska on the 4th of July it never gets dark enough to really enjoy them.  The only time we get to watch fireworks is in the freezing cold winter, on a snow machine.... in the middle of the tundra.


Jon and I went to college in Alamosa at the newly christened "Adams State University" (formerly Adams State College) so we like to go and visit all the local fun spots in the surrounding area: Alligator Farm, Zapata Falls, Sand Dunes and of course the campus.  

We fit so much in during our visits....... and the girls were such troopers!
