Colorado!

Ava and Aunt January trying on matching skunk hats.
In Breckenridge
Hanging with Mommy.
Ava trying on some shades. She actually kept them on too. Should have bought them.
We just back back from a weekend with Aunt January in Colorado. I must admit that I was dreading the flights but Ava was perfect. We got in Friday afternoon and drove straight to Frisco. Let me tell you, it is amazingly beautiful there. Holy cow. We were pretty tired after traveling (and no nap for Ava). I don't think the altitude helped our fatigue levels either. 9000 feet!

Anyway, we hit a big BBQ festival that was literally a couple blocks from Jan's place. It was awesome. The next day we spent a good part of it roaming around Breckenridge and then hit the outlet malls. We would have gone for a hike but it was raining and cold. Sunday, we had to come home which was a total bummer because the weather was amazing again. Next time we'll have to come for a much longer stay!

Father's Day was a little uneventful because Chris was on call and we spent most of the day flying back to Billings. We did hit a residency BBQ which was pretty fun. A couple of days ago we went to a birthday party for one of Ava's little friends and that was fun too. This week is pretty low key thankfully. It's been hard to get Ava back on her nap schedule and we've had several battles as a result. I'm sure we'll get into a routine just in time to upset it again when we travel to Virginia next week. Oh, speaking of going to VA...I am flying out with Ava by myself. 5 hour flight to Atlanta and then a two hour flight to Norfolk. Please pray for me as I will probably be out of my mind by the time I get there. She doesn't like to nap on the plane and I can only stash so many toys in my carry-on.

I love the pictures! It looks like you two had a fun trip!

Food, food, food. that's what gets me through plane trips. That and the TVs. You think it's hard flying with one....try flying with 4 alone.
