Colorado Trip- Day 3

We had a great first full day in Breckenridge! We spent the morning around the house playing outside and exploring. After Jack's nap, we went into town to look around and eat dinner. Jack keeps telling us he's "excited to be in Colorado!"

Our view from behind the house.  

Jack enjoys his first Colorado breakfast.

Time to do go do some exploring!

This is his new "Cheese!" face.  Cracks us up!

There's a pond behind the house where Jack likes to go and throw rocks into the water.

Jack spent a little time gathering rocks and dirt in his bucket.

Once we got into town, we walked up and down the Main St looking at everything.  Jack spotted the horse carriage and wanted to take a look.  When he realized I was taking his picture, he started yelling across the street, "Cheese horses!  Smile!"

We went to the Breckenridge Brewery for dinner and this little boy ate up that yogurt!

Our little mountain man!

There are bridges over the water in several spots, and Jack was enjoying standing and watching the water rush by.  

After dinner and walking around, it was time to head home for bath and bedtime.  The mountain air can wear a little guy out!

Colorado Trip- Day 2

Day 2 of our trip was the drive from Dalhart to Breckenridge. Jack had another great day of travel, and he was so excited when we finally reached the house where we'll stay for the week. We took our time driving and had so much fun with each other along the way.

Jack enjoyed a little TV time at the hotel while we packed up our stuff.

Not long after we left Dalhart, we crossed into New Mexico.

We stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere to get drinks and let Jack run around.

We made it to Colorado!

We stopped at Subway for lunch and it happened to be across from a rest stop with picnic tables, so we took our food over there to eat.  Jack ran all around and got some of his energy out.

Checking it all out.

Silly boy!

So sweet!

Jack and Dad check out the view from the porch at our house.  We got here pretty close to bedtime, so Jack looked around for a bit, and then conked out for a good night of sleep.  All the traveling wore him out!

Colorado Trip- Day 1

We left on Friday for our Colorado trip. The first day we drove from Dallas to Dalhart, TX, which took about 8 hours. Jack was a GREAT traveler. He was happy to watch movies, draw on his Magna Doodle, and eat snacks.  For about two weeks now, he'll ask if we're excited about Colorado.  Here's some highlights from our first day of travel...

I put him in the car, and he said, "Yay!  Off we go!"

Daddy is ready too!

We stopped in Vernon, TX for lunch and walked around their downtown square for a bit before we ate.

After another few hours, we made a stop in Dumas, TX.  It was Jack's first Braums visit, and he loved his orange ice cream (sherbet).

We made it to Dalhart!  Jack enjoyed riding on the luggage cart.

Our hotel had two horse statues outside, and Jack wanted to say hello and give them hugs.

Now time for a little dancing before we got back in the car to go eat dinner.

After dinner, we found a great park and let Jack run around for about 45 minutes.  He LOVED it!

Giving Daddy a push down the slide.

"Come on Dad!  I'll catch you!"

After the park, we headed back to the hotel to swim and play for a bit. Then it was time for bed so we could get up early for another day of travel.  Day 1 was a success!
