Colorado Part I

We took our annual trip to the mountains, again to Breckenridge, Colorado.  We had such a wonderful time.  The weather was fantastic, and the change of scenery was therapeutic for me!

Ben brought Grant and Devin to hang out with us for a long weekend.  We stayed in this cozy cabin nestled in the woods up on the mountain.  It was a very short walk from our cabin to the gondola, which took us on a ride down to town and the river.






I brought the kids to the historic park in Frisco to check out the model train and play in the old cabins.






Cousin Grant loves trains, so we brought him to see the old snow plow trains on display in Breck.


Of course we took lots of gondola rides!

Our sweetest babysitter, Helen, came with us and made life a million times easier!
We even went out for a nice brunch.  


The river was cold but fun.

Fort Worth Zoo

On our way back from Waxahachi, we spent the morning at the Fort Worth Zoo.  It is my new favorite, mostly because of all the shade and all the things for little kids to touch (things you don't mind them touching!).  It also had some animals we were not able to see at our Houston Zoo (penguins, kangaroos, etc).  Super fun time.











And then another farewell on the 4th!

After Amy and her family left us (tears), she texted and invited us to Waxahachi for the 4th of July! I'm so glad we loaded up the family for the quick visit.  We even got to see Steph and Jon and meet baby Matheson.
