Colorado

Driving...

On our trip out West, we stopped in Ozona, TX. It was a short 20 minute break to get "our" energy out. We enjoyed a snack and played some ball. Little did he know we had a lot longer to go on our adventure...

On our way to the mountains of Colorado, we stopped several places to get the energy out. I mean if driving 19 hours with a 18 month old isn't crazy enough--we walked down to the bottom of Carlsbad Caverns. Ethan did great. He sat in the backpack and towards the elevators at the bottom, we let him out to "explore". He gets so excited about things and we really enjoyed watching him in the cave.
We stayed the night in Pecos, TX. There isn't much, we had to drive an hour away to Odessa to have dinner. in between Odessa and Pecos, is Monahans State Park. It is huge sand dunes out in the middle of oil fields. It was so hot, we only stayed about 20 minutes, but it was fun running up and down the dunes. Ethan had a blast.


This is the sunset in Santa Fe. You can see the smoke from a nearby fire.

Pictures of Colorado coming soon...:)

Zoo Trip!

Today we went to the zoo. It was hot, but we still had a good time. Ethan really enjoyed himself, and loved looking at all the animals. The zoo wasn't really crowded, so Ethan got to run around. He did take a good nap when we got home. :) On the way home he was "telling" stories about the zoo. He was roaring like the lions and bears. It was super cute.

Yummy!

We love cotton candy!
