Colorado Chaos

Finally after getting up at 4:30am, overcoming 2 time zones, a couple of rounds of screaming on the plane, and a very tired family of 4 . . . we made it home!  The conference refreshed us in some ways and fried us in others.  We heard from Francis Chan, Rene Rochester, Dan Allendar (my personal favorite, seriously - if you haven't read any of his stuff, I highly suggest it!)  It was long though. Kids were tired. We were tired, and our sweet friends we shared an apartment with all came down with a stomach bug.  I don't know how we escaped it, but we did.  Just wanted to share a few fun photos of the adventures the kids had near the Rocky Mountains.

On the first night, we stopped by the County Fair filled with food, treats, rides and animals to pet :)  It was stinking hot though!  This is our Sweet Girl trying to escape the heat by hiding in the stroller.

Little Guy and I raced down the Super Slide.  From the looks of things, he won.

Sweet Girl could not WAIT to ride a pony.  Please note the slushee stain on the front of her WHITE shirt.  Love her heart - she's a messy one.

Okay, this is an important one.  Little Guy has NEVER ridden a horse, pony, or anything remotely close to it in his life!  It certainly pays to have an adventurous younger sister to keep up with!  He's loving it though.

I love this shot of Sweet Girl.  We enjoyed a fun morning at the splash pad with our friends and treated ourselves to ice cream afterwards.  Blair got a good shot of her in between the displays at Kilwin's.  I love the look of innocence, yet if you left her alone with those chocolate bars for more than 30 seconds, she would devour them.

 

Little Guy chose the blue ice cream.  I will say that this picture of him eating colorful ice cream is much different than a similar picture of him eating a chocolate cone at this same conference, same ice cream shop 2 years ago.  He's gotten much neater :)

Here are our kiddos with their dear friends.  Oh the fun they had sharing an apartment for a week and a half!
