Colorado Trip

We took our first family vacation to Boulder, CO last week and it was great!!  We visited Uncle Glenn and Sandy.  We went for some walks, out for coffee, lunch, skiing, shopping, butterfly pavilion, carousel and just hung out. I was so nervous for Aaliyah on the airplane, but she slept half the time, and then had her nuk, snacks, stickers and sippee cup to keep busy. Colorado is beautiful; it was great to be outside and get some exercise.  The 2nd day we were there, we got about  6 inches of snow.  We tried to go cross-country skiing at a park nearby with Aaliyah in a sled, but she didn't like it too much.

Playing on the boulders in Boulder.

Aaliyah and Lovecloud playing music.  One night we went to see Uncle Glenn play with his music group.

I love this expression, she does it so much now!  She just can't believe what happened.

At the Butterfly Pavillion on the bridge.

Putting butterfly handkerchiefs up the tube and watch them fly out.

She did so good playing with them and then climbing on the bridge to get them back.

Story time....and there's Aaliyah just chillin with her fruit snacks.

Showing her some butterflies up close.

Observing some insects

Love her face, she was so excited.  She kept climbing up and down these stairs so many times.

Stopped for coffee and ice cream in this old train. 

My first carousel ride!!  It was a restored carousel from the 1920's in a small town up in the mountains.

She loved it so much!  When it was time to go, she cried and ran up to the gate to go again.
