Colorado Pics
So over Thanksgiving, we drove out to Colorado to visit with my Dad, stepmom Liz, and sisters Conner and Madison...Oh and our pup Lily!
The drive out was really pretty good. We attempted to drive all night, but Chris got pretty tired and we did have to stop at a hotel and sleep for a few hours, but picked right back up early the next morning. The kids did GREAT! We were truly worried about Alexa as she isn't as easy as Landon to entertain, but she did really great! All three were about as good as we could expect.
We didn't do a whole lot while we were out there. We mostly just hung out and relaxed and enjoyed each other's company.
Here are the pics to document our trip:
The Drive out:
We often watch food t.v. at our house and one thing we watch is "Man vs. Food". Chris has one episode in mind and has had for quite sometime of a place in Denver called "Jack and Grill's" where they host a 7 POUND BURRITO! Yes, 7 pounds. So, we drove into Denver and let Chris at it...or so we thought. This thing was a monster! $20.00 worth of a burrito. Including, 5 pounds of potatoes, a dozen eggs, 1 pound of ham....and red chili sauce. If you at the whole thing, you didn't have to pay for it and you got your picture put on the wall. He got through half and was defeated, but really, really tried his best.
We spent alot of time outside walking lily and playing at the playground in their neighborhood:
Landon got to "help" with the annual roll making:
But the thing that Landon was most looking forward to doing was his dream and that was to ride a horse. And that he did ALL.BY.HIMSELF. in the Rocky Mountains! He did a wonderful job and the instructor couldn't believe he hadn't ever been horse back riding before.
We had a wonderful time and always enjoy visiting out there when we can, which isn't too often. I think now that we know we can travel with three kids in the car for that long and keep our sanity, we just might do it more often!
