Ethan and I have returned from our trip to Colorado with Grandma Mary to visit my sister and her family who live in Winter Park. We were only there for what seemed like a short visit but did a lot. We had a great time and had some good weather, consisting of mostly sunny skies. We did get some snow on the day we left though but thankfully it melted by the time we flew out. As most of you know our trip was cancelled previously due to blizzard conditions there so I was hoping that it wasn’t round two.

While there we visited the Denver Zoo which was jam packed that day with people. We saw lots of different types of animals and had a really fun time. This was probably the hottest day while we were there so we enjoyed the nice weather immensely.

One of the days we ventured to Echo Mountain to watch my nephew Birk compete in a jumps and rails competition. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperating that day and the fog decided to make an appearance. Ethan and I tried to watch Birk’s competition but unfortunately we were unable to see anything. Instead I pulled Ethan around in the sled.

I think that the main highlight of the trip for Ethan was riding in his cousin Svea’s Jeep. Ethan was obsessed with this vehicle and loved riding around and enjoying the scenery. It was really hard to get him out of it when the ride was over. I see one of these possibly in his future when he gets a little older.

Jeff definitely missed having us at home but had a nice bachelor weekend playing video games and hanging with friends. Its good to be home but we loved hanging out with family. Luckily though they are coming to visit this summer so not too far away.
