Vacation Galore

Last Monday our family headed out west for a few days of togetherness and fun. Here are way too many photos from the ensuing fun.

We stopped for some ice cream on the first leg of our trip and Addilyn got her very first personal ice cream cone. Mmm.

And Asher thoroughly enjoyed running around and being social with all the other customers in the store.

This is our first campsite just across the Colorado border.

We had some issues with dinner...something about not having anything to cook our meal in or utensils to handle things with. Here Addilyn is enjoying our only normal burger. Tyler and I got to try out some gravel burgers. Mmm...crunchy.

This is our classic camping picture: Addilyn enjoying her first roasted marshmallow of the summer.

Do you think he has a sinking feeling?

This is the best of the three pictures we took on the assent of Pike's Peak.

And on the top.

Walking through Garden of the Gods.

And climbing things in Garden of the Gods.

Then climbing through things.

The triumphant pair after Addilyn climbed a big rock.

One of Tyler's favorite pictures of the trip.

Our second campsite.

And the landscape behind the state park we stayed in.

Asher seems to have taken a great interest in feet/shoes lately. Here he's distracted by his own feet while walking.We found this bridge on the route we took through the mountains. That was an awesome drive.

We wandered through some of my old haunts from my summer in Vail in college. Here the kids are enjoying some playtime at a playground in the Vail Village.

The children got a little tired and Daddy got to play the role of pack mule.

Apparently I didn't really think this through. If you open a can of formula at an elevation of 10,000 feet, it will explode.

While Daddy and Addilyn played a game of disc golf, Asher and I played in the car. Fun with the steering wheel.

On our final Colorado leg of the trip we stopped at a playground in Boulder. Addilyn thoroughly enjoyed climbing up and steering the rocket.

Navigating.

Addilyn mouthing every word of Curious George with Grandpa B.

And reading some more with Grandma B.

There. You just survived the longest post ever. Go do a victory lap.
