Part 1 of Colorado Vacation

Day Before We Leave.....

So the day before we leave, we've got packing to do, errands to run, all the basics to get ready for a big road trip. I dropped Kayden off at school and he felt a little warm. An hour later school calls and he has a 102.5 fever. Oh joy. So I pick him up and bring him to work with me so I can get a little bit done. 1 hour later we go to the car to leave and what does he do???? Projectile vomits in my car!!! OY VEY! Neither one of us knew what to do! So we ended up going home, where Kayden slept 75% of the entire day....poor buddy!

Sleepy sick little buddy

His fever seemed to be decreasing so we decided to go forth with out trip....

Day 1 - Travel Day

Traveling with an almost 2 year old who is getting over being sick is FUN! (insert insane amount of sarcasm here). This guy didn't want to be in his carseat, wanted his window rolled down, wanted up front with mom, wanted to play with his cars, wanted to watch a movie....you get the picture! We made it in 13 glorious hours.... We were very glad to get to the cabin!!!

Cheesin with mommy

Are we there yet???

Colorado!!!!

This is my excited face!!!

Sweepy baby.....

Day 2 - St. Patricks Day!

You would think that on vacation one would be able to sleep in....not so much. We were all awake about 6:30a on our first day! So we put on our green and headed to crested butte! We didn't do too much, as Kayden still didn't feel very well....but nothing beats the cool air of colorado and....

a sleeping leprechaun!!!

Day 3 - Dad goes Snowboarding

Today daddy got to go snowboarding, which meant mom and Kayden were left to get into our own trouble. First we enjoyed a nice nap (always the best way to start!). Then we did some shopping (can't go wrong with that either). Next we headed up to the mountain to do some more shopping and see if we could find daddy on the mountain. No luck seeing daddy, but instead we found a children's museum! The perfect spot for Kayden to safely play and mom to relax and not worry about cleaning up! Wooohoooo!!!

Up from our nap!

Shopping at the children's museum

Selecting produce

An apple!

Lets go shopping!

Digging in the dig pit!

The "dirt" is recycled old tire pieces

There's trucks in here!

Then we all headed back to the cabin...Why you ask? Someone decided to throw a ginormous FIT! Not gonna lie he threw about 3 a day, every day we were there.... But when we got home it was SNOWING!!!!

This is fun!





I'm cold......
 
MUCH Better!

Funny Dinner Story
So we grabbed a late dinner and decided to get chips and salsa as an appetizer. Kayden usually loves salsa and queso and can eat it by the spoonful. Well this salsa had a kick to it. Kayden FREAKED out! He screamed, tried to wipe his tongue off and threw a fit. So when the waitress brought dinner we handed her the plate and asked her to take it back. Kayden got mad, so she left the chips and substitued with ketchup. GENIUS!!! He dipped the chips in it all evening! Hey at least its a vegetable, right? Oh and not included in the picture is the water, of which he dumped one sugar packet, one equal packet and one sweet-n-low packet. Mmmmm...... He loved every bite!

part two...tomorrow.
