Colorado Day 4 "The Zoo"

Sunday
What a better way to spend it -- with FAMILY. We loaded up 2 cars (4 adults, 4 kids)and went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. If you ever get the chance to visit Colorado you must see this place. The kids and I loved. The Giraffe exhibit is the coolest. You get to feed them crackers. Kinda of spooky at first but funny afterwards. Seeing the kids faces was priceless.

Colorado Day 3

Hanging out
Saturday morning we all went to eat breakfast -- Something I don't recommend with 4 (2 year olds. Samantha had Soccer that morning so as a treat we all went with her. WOW! I will let the pictures tell all. Later that day we took the kids to a local park and had fun.

ROAD TRIP to Colorado Day 2

NO Rain! Yea! Will we ever get out of TEXAS. We make it through New Mexico and get into Trinadad, Colorado. What a beautiful little town. We stopped at the Vistors Building and got some new caps. Then we found a beautiful park in the middle of town. I wish Houston had more parks like this one. After stopping and letting the kids run about we drove our final destination Colorado Springs, Co. Everyone was excited to get out of the van that we rented and to see their cousins and Aunts/Sisters/SIL. Oh yea the dogs.

ROAD TRIP to Colorado

Brandon, Brianna and I along with Aunt Hannah, Uncle Mike and Anderson had the opportunity to take a road trip to Colorado to visit Aunt Prisicilla and Samantha. You are probably thinking we were crazy to travel across 3 states with three 2 year olds. We left on Thursday, July 8th in the rain and drove until Childress, Texas. We had to stop in Corisicana to let the little ones run around. McDonald's slides were a blessing. We hit traffic in FT. Worth which was a bummer. Then some more rain, and then some more rain. Would it ever stop. It finally did. Thank goodness. We stayed in Childress, Texas for our major stop. The kids were rambunctious. There were 2 double beds in our room. If you have little ones you know that there is NO WAY you are going to share a bed with them and get any type of sleep. IDEA! since the beds had no rails and they were very high off the ground I decided to remove the mattress and place it on the floor. Cool idea until my little B-n-B's thought it was their new jump pad. Mommie did her best and finally got her two jumpers to sleep. And she even got to sleep alone in her own bed.
