Colorado Day 1

Last week we, as in me, Terry, Bella, my brother Tim, Alyssa, Ryan, Courtney, Mom and Dad, all hopped on an "airpwane" and flew to Colorado. The kids did great on the flight. Ryan's face was hilarious during takeoff. Bella just wanted to "go fast!".

Bella didn't love the seatbelt and kept wanting to see Papa and Nana so she would have an excuse to get out of it. She wiggled herself out at one point. She is such a silly goose! We kept her busy with movies, coloring books, sickers, and her baby.

We had the pleasure of visiting my aunt and uncle's vacation home in Colorado. The views are nothing less than stunning and we sure did soak it up, along with the wonderful weather.

Mema and Papa were there for the first full day.


I'm pretty sure Papa stayed right here the majority of the time they were there. If he is not outside he is sitting on the couch in the living room that will give him the same view.

Tiffany and Bella sporting their matching hats!

Terry took the opportunity to read a little. I actually did too!!

Like I said the views are stunning. The flat peak on the far left of the picture is Pikes peak. There is a view of Pikes Peak from every room in the house! Beautiful!

Looks that the kiddos got ahold of the matching hats :)!

This was right outside our bedroom. We stayed in the basement. Don't be fooled by the word "basement". It was great! We had our own living room and bathroom! AND THE VIEW! These little chipmunks were everywhere. Bella got a huge kick out of them. Her whole body would tense up and she would squeal and laugh at them. My brother chased them around the entire time trying to get a close up shot. It never happened.

Outside the basement.

We walked a little ways around the property and discovered these rocks. We climbed out on them. OH DEAR!! It was gorgeous out there!!

We had some exciting things happen on this trip but that gets a blog post all to itself!
