2 Adults 1 Kid and 2 Dogs...in an Xterra

As some of you may know, the Kruse family recently moved to Denver, Colorado. The pictures seen here tell a story. A story of a family that decided to pull up their boot straps and move to the frontier, the wild west, the land of opportunity. Like the many before us, we loaded up our wagon and hit the trail. The next few pictures show the extreme closeness that this family felt for 5 days. Reggie found a place that he could wedge into. Jack decided that laying on top of all the luggage in the back was the best move. Colin was able to watch "Baby Signing Time" when the going got rough. Here's the little guy taking a snooze during the trip. Colin loves meatball subs from Subway. He really enjoyed turning his face orange with all the sauce. Muscles!!! Colin was really helpful. He pushed the luggage cart all the way to the lobby on the way to the pool. Colin loved swimming time! Swimming tired him out so much that he had to lay back with his hands behind his head to get some rest. We stopped in Cresco, Iowa, which was about the halfway point, for two nights to visit Gabe's sister Jess and her family. Colin loved playing in the sandbox with Blaire (3yrs) and Tate (1yr). This is the only picture in which we could get 2 of the three kids to look at the camera. Colin liked going down the slide. Too bad Dad had to hold on to the back of his shirt for safety. Come on Dada!

Here we are less than 30 seconds after we left our house on the big move.

Here is Colin getting comfortable in the pool.

A behind the scenes look into how we get the great pictures. It only takes about 3 adults making tons of noise with many props to get 2 of three toddlers to look at the camera.
