We headed to Colorado Springs the week after Christmas to spend time with my (Becky’s) side of the family. There are TWICE as many grandkids this year, so needless to say it was a bit crazy. We headed out to Red Rocks and did some hiking, threw snowballs, and enjoyed the crisp air. We also went to the Denver Children’s Museum, which is not a museum. at all. But IS super fun! The kids painted in the kid art gallery, went grocery shopping in the mini Whole Foods store, dressed up as Firemen & Firewomen, built catamaran’s in the Construction zone, conducted trains, and more. Then we went to the outdoor sports Mecca, aka: the REI Flagship store. We had a great trip, and the kids still ask if we are going to Colorado, every time we get in the car. We also left our dog, Lucy, with my Parents. It was the best thing for all of us, and her. I do miss my four legged vacuum though.
We hiked, we shopped, we gifted, we ate (a-lot) and of course we photographed every moment! So here are some of our faves. We wish you a Very Happy New Year and all the best in 2010 (or is it 20-10). hmmm.
