Colorado

As I have mentioned a few times, we were in the mountains last weekend. We left Wednesday night around 6:30 and got to Estes Park at 5:00 am central time. In case you're wondering, after traveling through the night to get there and during the day to get home, I would travel during the day both ways...with 3 kids under the age of 2. On the way there, I think K and I got about a half hour of sleep total. Emma did much better, but was still up for 2 hours when she would have normally been sleeping. So our family started out the vacation short on sleep.

We stayed in our friend's dad's newly purchased house. We did have one issue dealing with the sewer...it backed up into the basement. A plumber was promptly called and came to deal with the issue and we ended up getting to clean up the yuck that had gotten on the basement floor. I should have taken a picture.

However, it really was a great vacation. I love to see the mountains, especially with snow on top of them. It was a little snowy the first day, but we saw the sun for the other two days. It was fun spending time with our friends and going shopping in downtown Estes Park. K and I got to have a date night while our friends watched Emma. We drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park and saw a lot of elk. We also went to Bear Lake and walked for a little ways on 3 feet of snow as it was snowing around us!







Emma ended up getting a fever on Saturday during the day. She was a trooper on the way home. For the most part, she looked like she didn't feel very good, but she did very well in her car seat. She's been living on Tylenol since then and I took her to the doctor's office yesterday. They aren't sure what it is...maybe a virus. So please pray for Emma's fever to get better! Thank you!!
