Colorado Update

Mallory wanted to share with you our latest adventures. We had the opportunity to go back to Vail last weekend for a softball tournament. Mallory kept saying she wanted to ride the gondola and play in the fountain. Here are pictures from our trip.















Then on Tuesday, we went and watched the Colorado Rockies play the LA Dodgers. Mallory did so well and lasted until Mommy and Daddy wanted to go home. She had a blast!





Okay, so the last thing we have done is this weekend we went with Annette and Russell to Breckenridge. We had so much fun. Mallory went on her first hike, and I can say even though it was rated as moderate, it took us over 3 hours to hike up 800 feet (elevation change) and 2.6 miles. It was well worth it for the beautiful views, the pictures just don't do it justice.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Sorry, forgot to include these pictures of Rocky Mountain National Park from our trip this weekend. We just spent the day driving, and started at Estes Park on the East side of RMNP and drove to the other side to Grand Lake. On our way home we went through Winter Park, and just enjoyed the sites.

Children's Museum of Denver

Today, Mallory and I visited the Children's Museum. They had toddler time and they showed the kids how to make ice cream. Mallory loved eating what she just made. Here are a few other pictures from our visit.

Butterfly Garden

Today, Mallory and I went to visit the Butterfly Garden in Westminster. Mallory loved having the butterflies all around her. We also were able to see them release the new butterflies. Enjoy the pictures:

Vail & Colorado Springs

The last 2 weeks here in Denver have been busy. Last weekend Mallory, Justin and I decided to see what Vail was like during the summer. Okay, so we are ready to move there right away. We loved it! The weather was great and the sites were beautiful. Justin and I are already planning our trip for December, we can't wait to go snow skiing. I have never been, and Mallory will be a perfect age to get started. Here are a few pictures:

This past weekend, Justin's family came in for a little vacation. We rode the Cog Railway up to the top of Pike's Peak and visited the Royal Gorge Bridge. Here are a few pictures:
