a little bit of this and that :: colorado

The kids and I seriously had a blast on our quick trip to Colorado. The weekend that we arrived also happened to by my niece's, Paige, birthday and so we had a blast celebrating it with her and friends. Sadly I forgot my camera that day and also when we decided to have her birthday dinner at Casa Bonita the following night. But we also just had a lot of fun going to their neighborhood pool, lots of different parks and visiting with family and friends too.

You name it, they love it. They were just in awe of watching all of the ducks at Lake Clement. Even though we see a ton at our local lakes, these ducks were apparently 100% cooler. It was awesome.

It was so good to catch up with Grandma and Grandpa, and after a lovely and yummy lunch we decided to take the kids to the park just down the road to let them play.

It was so good for him to be around family. He loves his grandparents so much. 
 photo DSC_2921copybw_zps4f4ca9d6.jpg Our trip to Colorado wasn't nearly long enough. There was so many things I wanted to take the kids and do, but this was a spur of the moment trip and so I was happy that we at least got to go and do the things we did. This just means that we have to plan another trip back sooner!
