Colorado Vacation

Well. We just got back from a great week in Colorado visiting Dad, Liz, Conner and Madison. We drove. I know what you're thinking, how could we drive with a 7 1/2 months old in the car? Didn't we go crazy? The answer, not really. We left in the evening so Landon could sleep most of the drive. He slept about 13 of the 17 hours it took us to get to Colorado and 13 of the 17 hours to get back to Indiana. He was perfect. He woke up when we stopped to get gas because they are so well lit, but he fell right back to sleep once the car started rolling. The last hour, both there and back, were the roughest for Landon, but for Chris and I as well. I thought we were going to regret driving, but it went really well. Conner and Madison seemed to really enjoy Landon's company as he enjoyed theirs. Grandpa Bill took lots of pictures to capture our visit as well as the little monster trying to climb on everything. We went into Estes Park, we went bowling (all I'm going to say is Madison beat Chris...but that's all I'm saying), we walked through downtown Longmont, we played many a game of "Phase 10" (our family ritual when visiting), we watched a fireworks show on the 4th of July. We just had an all around good time. Now, as for Landon. He has just about 6 teeth, he's climbing on everything, and has even attempted to let go of things and take a step. I think he has decided that he needs to slow down, he's not quite ready for walking. He's always three steps ahead of what his body wants to do. He is getting into everything. He even will crawl towards something that we have said "no" to, turn and look at us, smile, then turn back around and crawl towards the "no" object, then back at us, smile, then towards the "no" object. He's a smart little sucker and he's training us well. I think that's about it for now. We would love to see how you are doing. You can leave a comment at the end of this post to update us on you and your family. Hope everyone is having a great summer. Talk to you later. I will post again here in a couple weeks.
Love,
jennifer, chris, and landon
