Trip To Colorado



We took a week and a half trip to Colorado to visit relatives. Here are some highlights:

First Airplane Ride

Kamri's First Flight. Actually Tayson's First Flight too!
Kamri was a little monster. She hates to fall asleep when she is not in her crib and it took three flights to get there (SUCKED!) and the flight home was delayed after we boarded for an hour (SUCKED AGAIN!).

But Tayson's quote was priceless: When asked how he liked flying in the plane, Tayson's response was: "I want to fall into the clouds and see who catches me."

ZOO

We went to the Portland Zoo with all the aunts and cousins. This was supposed to show how big the Polar Bear is compared to all the kids but whoever was taking the picture didn't get that concept. Anyway, it does show the size difference of all the cousins. Tayson looks like giant compared to the smaller kids and Kamri is still tiny because her 8 month old cousin is as tall as her and a little thicker.




We love giraffes!






Don't let this picture fool you. Blake was having a blast! (Not really). But he was a good sport. Thank goodness for iPods for teenage boys who have to hang out with their family.




FOURTH OF JULY
We went to a BBQ and swimming at my cousin Russ's girlfriend's parent's house!

I may look like nice weather in the pictures but it eventually started to down pour. In Colorado it doesn't just rain, it is just short of a monsoon. There was so much water that it started pooling on the sides of the street. Eventually, the youngans (the early twenty-somethings) took the plastic crocodiles in the pictures and road them down the road!




Me and my cousin Angie.
Kamri and Owen.
- Sorry for the inappropriately exposed shoulders on my innocet baby girl. She is so little that the swimming suit didn't fit her. We eventualy found a safety pin.






Of course, we got matching outfits for all the little counsins to take a great photo. And of course, with two babies, a toddler, 3 year old, and 7 year old, this was about the best picture we got. Good try those Leslie!
Here is our 4th of July Red, White, and Blue family shot.
Finally, the whole fam damily!

JUMPSTREET

This was Blake and Bryce's favorite thing we did on the trip. They went by themselves one day and liked it so much we brought the whole family back. We really need something like this is K-town!
