Mark's annoying work schedule paid off one weekend when Comfort Dental got us free tickets to Rascal Flats!!! Some of my sisters and I are big fans of Rascal Flats so we were pretty excited when we heard they were coming to Denver!
Emilee and Ang flew in a little early so we could vacation too. On the first vacation day, we went out to dinner to a mexican restaurant--of course. Mark was with us so how could we not?
After dinner we went on a shopping spree at the nearby outlets. It was nice to shop and get opinions from my two younger sisters who are much more stylish and up with the trends. You two would be happy to know that I wore my brand new orange skirt today. Where would I be without you guys? :)
The next day we drove to Colorado Springs to see the rock formations at Garden of the Gods park. 
While there, we hiked to a rock formation called Siamese Twins...
...saw a great view of Pikes Peak...
...and also visited Balanced Rock.
We spent the afternoon touring a Ghost Town Museum. We enjoyed "turning our clocks back a hundred years" as we explored the town.
This one's for you Dad! :)
I loved seeing all the neat antiques they had! I even found a speck of gold while panning afterwards! I am a rich woman now!
Fortunately I just happened to take a wrong turn on the way home--right onto a street where there were deer walking in front of our car!
We made it back to Denver just in time for the most exciting event. The concert included Eli Young Band and Little Big Town along with Rascal Flats. I thought the other two bands were great. I guess Mark especially liked them because he said to me while Little Big Town was singing, "so this is Rascal Flats, huh? They are pretty good. " :) (This was before Rascal Flats came out to sing of course)
Thanks to Ang I've got proof that we heard Rascal Flats live.
I left the concert liking Rascal Flats even more than I did before! These girls were so fun to go with!!
The next day was Sunday so we made good use of our time before church. We took a drive and saw Columbine High School...
...a cute little prairie dog town...
...and the Denver Temple.
I am so glad these two came out to visit. I feel so lucky to have such great sisters. I hope they come back soon!

Oh I LOVE this. Thanks for choosing one of the videos that I didn't sing all the way through in. Wish I could relive this trip! Thanks for making it possible, Beth.
It went so fast! It really was so fun thanks for the tickets Mark and Bethany!!
Wow, your littlest sisters trip looked like so much fun! Garden of the Gods and Siamese Twins and Balanced Rock! Cool to see, and so many other unique things like ghosts and rascals. I love the trio pics...you three look so much alike...I wonder why ;) Really made me miss everyone...glad you posted Bethany...better than a postcard!
Hi Bethany, I haven't looked at blogs for the longest time. I just saw your post about your miscarriage. I am so sorry that you had to go thru that. I don't really know what to say, but wanted you to at least know I'm thinking about you and praying for you. I hope you're settling in okay in colorado. Lucy is a doll! Such and cutie and I can't believe she is 2!
Oh Beth... I am so sorry about your loss! I am still a firm believer that babies will come to us when they are supposed to and that we will be so lucky being able to raise our babies in the next life! :) I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you! I can't believe your sweet Lucy is 2 already... I didn't remember she was so close to Carter... he turned 2 on July 20th. You look fabulous in all your pictures and I love your new short haircut! Will you email me your new address so that I have it for Christmas? How long will you be staying in Colorado? Are you going home anytime around Christmas? I also want you to know that I love you dearly! I hope to hear from you soon!
