Colorado Vacation

We had so much fun on our vacation in Colorado! It was my 1st airplane ride, & I thought it was so cool! I cheered when we lifted off & said "faster!" We missed our connecting flight in Dallas, but I didn't mind too much....we ate supper, watched some US Marines get cheered home, & then caught a later flight to Denver. I fell asleep when we landed & didn't wake up til the next morning in the hotel room. The Denver Zoo was GREAT! lots & lots of animals & neat exhibits! & even a little train ride!

We spent the next 5 days in Breckinridge, CO, which was really pretty & lots of fun things to do. My favorite thing to do there was exploring the rivers, bridges, & our little "hikes"....& of course throwing rocks in the water. Daddy is a good rock-skipper! I also got to play one morning at a Children's Museum, & we found lots of parks to play at. It was also fun to see all the chipmunks running around, & we saw a red-tailed fox walk across the street too one day. ( & a big ram standing on the side of the road too) We ate at lots of neat resturants, did a little window-shopping, found neat toy stores & play areas, & of course took lots of naps too. We also found a neat train on the side of the road, near the hockey rink. (I LOVE trains!) I found lots of neat sticks, flowers & rocks on our mini-hikes too.

On Thursday, we drove from Breckenridge to Montrose to see our friends there. It was a pretty drive through all the mountain passes. We even discovered a really cool museum in Gunnison, CO, on this drive. It had a cool train out front & fully decorated houses, barns, antique car barn, chapel, & museum barns. We all 3 loved it!

It was fun seeing my friends Elliot & Chloe & their parents Catherine & Drew. They let us stay at their family's beautiful cabin in Ouray, CO. I also got to play with their cousins, Sophia & Alexander & their parents Matt & Christina. They are a fun, nice family! Thanks, guys, for a great time! We even got to see Box Canyon in Ouray & see the waterfall cave & go hicking...across the bridge....& through the tunnel. (Elliot & I had a raisin & gatorade break on the way down.) That Chloe Jane is a hoot too! (I think it's hilarious that they call her "meatball".) On Fri night, we all had a campfire & ate smoores. Yummy! What a fun time we had in beautiful Colorado! Love, Davis
