Colorado Cousins

The real reason for our trip to Colorado was to spend time with family for a special baptism & baby blessing weekend.  Ben's brother and his family moved to the area earlier in the year and this was our first time visiting them.  The kids have been missing their cousins and loved having time together.  They played and played and played, and played some more.  Mema and Papa were in town for the special occasions also, so we enjoyed quality time with them too.  We loved having so much time with everyone!

We packed a picnic lunch with us and stopped at Canyon View Park, right off
the Interstate in Grand Junction, CO (a great halfway stop) to quickly eat and let
the kids run around.  It was a windy but sunny day and we all appreciated having a
little bit of time outside in the fresh air.

We were so excited to finally arrive and get to see everyone!
These kids had a blast together.

It's so nice to get to snuggle a new baby, and Eliza the Baby Lover was especially
thrilled.  She fell in love with him right away.

Baptism Day
  
Watching football, playing football, feeding dogs,
playing games, and just having fun.

Saying goodbye to Mema & Papa

The drive home was longer and slower than the drive to CO had been
because of snowy weather for the first few hours.  Almost everyone got
a nap, and toward the end Cat crawled into the back seat with Jack and
helped him work on James Potter and the Womping Willow on the laptop.
