Colorado

Here are a few pictures from Colorado. We had a really good time - it was so nice to get away from the Texas heat for a while! Both kids did a great job traveling and adjusting to being away from home - they are such great kids! A couple of Elijah's favorite activities were throwing rocks down mountains and chasing after Bachelor, the resident dog. We had a small birthday celebration for him on our last day, and one of his requests for his birthday was to ride the ski lift again (the last picture). That was probably one of my hightlights of the trip - just the two of us rode the lift up to the top of the mountain while enjoying the peace and beauty around us, and then went on a couple of mini-hikes once at the top. Then we rode back down and had some more peaceful, quiet conversation. I really cherish those times I have with him!
We are all happy to be home, back in our regular routines, but still recouperating from the travel -our first Monday back has been kind of a lazy day so far!
