Fifteen families from the northeast are visiting Grand Junction this week and these families have a different story than most.

They are part of a group called Tuesday's Children and they each lost a loved one on September 11th. These families are in Colorado enjoying all the Western Slope has to offer.

Tuesday's Children was set up as a support system for the families but it has become so much more. This is the first group trip for Tuesday's Children, and after these new experiences some of the kids think they'd like to become paleontologists.

The group will be on the Western Slope for the rest of the week.
