Avery and I left DFW bright and early Thursday
morning, I was nervous to fly alone with a toddler while six months pregnant
but I knew if I showed up in Colorado without the granddaughter it wouldn’t be
good J. Thankfully the flight to Denver is a short
one. She did pretty well… Actually, she was exactly like I would expect a
20-month old toddler to be. Curious, energetic, nervous. Unfortunately the man sitting next to us
didn’t seem to appreciate these traits.
I was very happy to hear the landing gear and touch down at DIA after
the two hour flight. We got our bags
packed in my mom’s car and I just had to thank them for arranging a typical
Colorado day for us. Deep blue skies,
crisp cool air, and majestic mountains. Oh, it was so good to be home.
Thursday was very low-key. We got to my parents’ house, ate lunch and
then all four of us took a nap. Once we were well rested, Avery, my mom and I
headed to the hospital to visit my Grandma.
She is almost 93 and still doing great but Avery was a little scared of
her. I think the hospital in general was just overwhelming. Finally she warmed up and Grandma even got a
hug good-bye!
My dad picked up Matt Thursday evening, getting those
two together is usually trouble J
Friday morning we drove to Estes Park and met up with
Stef and Brian. We grabbed lunch and
headed into Rocky Mountain National Park to go sledding at Hidden Valley. As soon as we entered the park the guys
spotted these Elk 100 feet from the road.
The weather changed quickly when we got into the Park and by the time we
reached Hidden Valley it was snowing sideways. Perfect sledding weather! We got
Avery all bundled up, grabbed our sleds and headed out. It was pretty chilly and I have to admit, trekking
up a (small) hill at 9,400 ft while pregnant had me breathing pretty hard but
we had fun.
