Colorado Trip

The kids and I sadly left Andrew behind, working ever so diligently through his last internship, and headed for the mile high city.
Makayla LOVES flying and was so excited to get on the plane! We flew into Denver and spent a couple of days in Ft. Collins, before heading up to Breckinridge for an Adams Family Reunion.


The day we left for the reunion I came down with the worst flu I have had in years. It knocked me out. Because of this, I didn't take as many pictures as I should have. :( We stayed in some lovely condos and had a nice time visiting with each other, exploring the old mining town, swimming, hot tubbing, and playing.










Papa did a fat booth picture of all the kids- everyone got a kick out of that! 

The Gondola ride






Train museum 


The sisters 

Putting our feet in the cold river 

Pool in Breck- we were swimming and got caught in a hail storm! But as most mountain storms do, it passed over quickly and we got right back in. 
We had a GREAT time together- I sure wish I had taken more pictures!! 





We spent the remainder of our time in Ft. Collins. It is so nice to spend time with nana and papa, and the Moores, and the Adams.  Makayla was in heaven with all the cousins, and Jackson was in heaven with all the snuggles and kisses from nana.  We spent our time... 

Playing play dough with Papa 




Getting spoiled by nana- (she is painting her fingers :))

Eating delicious meals prepared by Chef Eric

Enjoying the weather Outside


Snuggling up to watch Finding Nemo (THE movie of the trip!)

Harvesting with Papa in the garden.  Miss Makayla would follow Papa out to the garden each evening and would run back and forth bringing in that day's spoils. 

Swiss Chard anyone?! 

We were  fortunate enough to be there when Lauren gave birth to perfect baby Harrison.  He is a doll, and I am SO lucky he came 10 days early so that we could meet him.  Lauren made it to the hospital within MINUTES of his arrival in the ER! What a story she will have to tell her special baby boy!  


Baking cookies 


Playing with the CO Adams 

Jackson explored A LOT he managed to get himself into some interesting predicaments 

Breakfast at the Egg And I 

We miss you already Nana and Papa!! Thank you so much for having us! We love to visit.

  2. I love all the pictures. Wish it was in El Paso as planned ;) I love seeing all your siblings. The one with Ryan smiling in the background with your dad, I just thought, that's Ryan! And Alison's kids are so grown up... Well, they all are! What a fun trip.
