Colorado Fun!

This summer I decided to try a trip with the boys. I was very nervous and because I knew Aaron wouldn't be there to help tame them in the car I was ultra prepared. Surprisingly they were really well behaved for a 9.5hour trip. We headed to Colorado Springs to spend some time with my cousin Jamica and her family.

Took a little lunch break at some college in Wyoming. The kids got thier scooters out to ride for a bit.

Both kids were zonked on this picture - it was a little scary. We were driving inside the clouds, for a long time I finally had to call Aaron so I didn't get to scared.

Finn found a new best friend. This is my cousin's dog named Charlie, at all hours of the day and night you could hear Finn asking or calling for "Char Char". He really did love him.

Here are a few of the kids together. Van asked how they were related to these kids, I couldn't figure it out. Bryan, Jamica's husband told me they are cousins once removed (whatever that means? Removed from where?).

At their zoo you could buy waffer things to feed the giraffs, it was so neat. I think I was the only one who screamed with the encounter.

Face painting was available, most of the kids got their faces painted. Most of those kids washed them off immediately. But the 3 that kept them painted sure looked cute!

When Aaron saw this picture he said "Woa, they let you touch the elephants?" This is infact a life size picture of elephants. I think my favorite part of the zoo was the hippos. I didn't get any pictures.

In the bird house you could buy feeding sticks. The birds would land right on them and eat. It was way cool.

Here we are in the mountains were they rent property. The kids had fun wandering around and swinging on swings.

This picture shows Finn's everlasting search for working, and "helping" in any situation.
