Our Summer Trip out West started in Colorado. The first day we were able to meet with our awesome friends, the Sanders, it was so fun to see them after a year. They are the type of friends that just feel like family. We lived near them in Virginia and we always looked forward to every chance we could be with them so it was nice to catch up and enjoy the mountains. Abby and Kate cried all the way home when we had to leave them.
The next day followed with a trip to the local greenhouse to pick out roses for the girls. Grandpa has a tradition of planting a rose for each member of the family so the girls each picked out a rose to plant in his garden. Kate and Abby loved exploring the greenhouse with Grandpa and felt pretty cool to each get a rose at the end. That night Grandma was nice to throw a great birthday party for Abby and the girls soaked up every second of fun with friends and family.
The weekend with a huge hit with a visit to the North Pole in Colorado Springs. Brett's parents had taken him there as a child and wanted the girls to have the experience so we drove to a land where it's Christmas all year long. You could spin for hours on all the fun rides. ;) Abby and Kate were in heaven to spend time with grandparents and their cousins Hailey and Bradey whom they ADORE. It was nice to chat with everyone since we hadn't seen them in a few years.
After an exciting weekend of fun and games the girls were tired so we took it easy and relaxed with Grandpa and Grandma. A favorite is still to cuddle up and read stories at night with their grandparents.
It was beautiful to be back in Colorado, enjoy the mountain air and be with family and friends.
Thanks for a great time!
