Colorado Weekend

We escaped for the weekend to visit family and friends in Colorado. All three days were jam packed with activities, to be honest I am still recovering!

One of the favorite things for the whole family was a hike on the Monument. It opens the door for so many adventures and is so beautiful, we miss it!










Some other favorite activites:
-Geocaching with my family
-Hanging w/ my BFF (thanks Jo for dropping everything to see us, you rock!)
-Eating at my fave Main Street bagels
-BBQ with family
-Walk along the River Front Trail
-Hike to Cub Scout Mountain and drive by my old house
-Visit to the cemetery
-Riding around on Grandpa's 4-wheeler, tractor, swinging on the tree swing, feeding apples to the sheep etc...
-Picked up a box of famous Palisade peaches (which we are still enjoying and on our second pie... YUM!)

We had a much longer list of things that we didn't get to do, so maybe next time!






On the way home we stopped into the Pawn shop in Las Vegas from one of our favorite shows, "Pawn Stars". It was so cool!

1st Day

Kyra started preschool! She was SO excited.



She is our quiet yet intense child, so I wasn't sure how she would feel about going to school. Sometimes it is like pulling teeth to get her to talk, but she reports that she love love LOVES school and her teacher says she was outgoing and talkative.



She had to gather some things about herself for her "All about me" bag to share with her classmates. This is what she chose:

-play doh
-whoppers box (favorite candy)
-Belle (favorite princess)
-Ariel polly pocket (favorite toy)
-fluffy yellow ball (loves crafts and favorite color is yellow)
-princess wand & beads (loves dress up)
-bouncy ball (loves to play "ball")
-colored picture (loves drawing and coloring)
-piece of paper that she wrote DANCE (loves to dance)
-photos of her cat, family, baby brother and her hiking



Love my sweet girl. I'll miss her so much!
