Today's milestone Monday was one that I have been looking forward to
since Emerson was born--our first trip to Colorado with him. It had a
few rough moments, all of us were blessed with colds while there, but
overall it was exactly what this tired and worn-down momma needed after a
full quarter of teaching. Emerson didn't sleep as well as we had hoped,
either due to his cold and coughing fits, the dry and cold air, or the
altitude, but by the end of the trip we seemed to be more adjusted.
We
spent the first weekend visiting tia and tio Irina and Brian in Denver,
and our friends Lisa, Patrick, and their daughter Katelyn. We skied
Keystone with them, which had some great snow conditions. Then we got a
special visit from our Phoenix friends Jared and Bev, who were on a
beer-tasting tour of Colorado microbreweries!
The
following five days were spent in Steamboat at our friends, the Keller's,
house. We got to meet Clara, their 9-month-old, and see how big Arthur,
their 2.5-year-old, has gotten. We also skied the Boat and even had
"mommy and daddy time"!
We finished off the fun with
some time at Granddad Davis' and a visit from auntie Cassie as well-
where we took on the Cala Inn trivia by storm and won in an incredible
comeback victory. We flew back on St. Patrick's day- with a free
beverage courtesy of Southwest!
Here are our favorite photos from the 10-day trip.
