Colorado! (This is a loooong post!)

Callie and I are back home after a wonderful long weekend in Loveland. I was reminded again how A-M-A-Z-I-N-G our baby is! She was a total trooper and a fantastic traveler. Anyway, Callie got to meet Great-Grammy and spend time with her great-aunts and great-uncles...and MorMor, Bops and her 2 Henderson aunties of course!

We got there on Saturday morning after a successful flight consisting of a couple of naps, some milk, and playtime on Mommy's lap. Our first stop was brunch, then hanging out at Grammy and Margie's house.

Great-Uncle John and Tess (the silly doggy!)


Next up was going to a festival (getting a 4 generation picture!), and having a BBQ for Uncle Joe's 60th birthday (which wasn't until Monday, but we had a 3 day celebration :) )!

Sunday started out with a diaper photo shoot in the hotel and then swimming!

Pool time!


Cuddling with MorMor


Our big excursion that day was driving up to the mountains! Callie spent a lot of time in her car-seat, but Laura, Mari, Margie and I were able to entertain her with singing and goofy animal voices for Chewy the Giraffe and Rocky the Ram.

The mountains were beautiful! We got up to almost 12,000 feet.





On the way back we stopped at Estes Park, found a bench, and relaxed for awhile.


Dinner that night was back in Loveland at the ever popular Steer. Callie sat in a high chair for all of 5 minutes and then needed to be entertained elsewhere. Margie started singing "Jesus Loves Me" to her and then people who were sitting at a table next to us asked to be moved. Haha!




On Monday we went mini-golfing and hung out at Grammy's house for Uncle Joe's birthday dinner.

Even Grammy mini-golfed!

Today was an early morning driving back to the airport, flying to MSP (a little more challenging...Punkin head peed all over the airplane bathroom while being changed and ignored a whole diaper bag full of toys in favor of 2 napkins), and getting picked up by Grandma Mary to come home.



It was a lovely trip but we are glad to be home with Daddy and Kona!
