Take a few minutes each day to read a good book, help a parent or grandparent around the home, and appreciate these warm and beautiful days of summer.

The O’Dells visited 6 National Parks this summer: Great Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde, Canyonlands, Arches, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, and Rocky Mountain National Parks. Our 4th grader was so excited to use her pass, free to all 4th graders each year (Aug through July), to get us in to these amazing landscapes and historical sites that are protected for all to experience. God Bless America!
