Colorado or Bust...


A look at our trip so far...


Flew out of Atlanta Saturday afternoon...Lucy resisted her nap until she finally surrendered...




Jack had a great time on the plane and he slept like a champ most of the way (it was a three-hour flight.)







After we arrived in Denver, we headed over to "Lady's cousins' area of town, Parker, CO. We had a delicious dinner of freshly caught (by Marvin and Kevin) salmon. Such a treat!


The AWESOME view from their house, just beautiful!


We stayed overnight in Parker -- it was like a vacation before our vacation, they were so accommodating; Lucy and Jack enjoyed feeding the horses at the farm the next morning...
Playing in the hay...




Before heading north to Steamboat, we headed out to Littleton to visit our much-loved aunt and uncle, Paula and Scotty, and their adorable kids, Ivan and Lily.

Lucy especially loved playing with Ivan at the park...


Jack and Scotty exploring.


Such a gentleman, holding her hand. He kept saying, "Lucy, be careful! It's slippery!" Lucy didn't seem very concerned.


I mean, how much sweeter can it get?


It's been a WONDERFUL first leg of our trip! It was so wonderful spending time with my mom's side of the extended family; Paula & Marvin, Elise & Sandor are so delightful and fun to be around, and any time we spend with Scotty and Paula just isn't enough. We've taken our time getting up here to "Papa's Snow House" as Lucy calls it, and we're excited to get out on the slopes.

Tomorrow morning, though, the priority is getting the kids' "Snowy" Christmas Card Photo taken, developed in town, so we can stuff the cards with an adorable photo (I'm crossing my fingers ;-), and send them out the same day. That way, hopefully friends and family will receive our cards in time!
