Late Spring Break

April 19, 2016

We decided to take a late Spring Break this year. We usually go up to CO the end of May but thought this year it might be fun to go earlier. Other than Cole getting sick the night before we left and being that way the whole week we had a good, relaxing trip! He was a trooper, even though he was not feeling good and had fevers almost every day, with a little ibuprofen he was able to perk up a little each day and have some fun.

We stopped at what we call the elephant feet outside of Tuba City for lunch and to let the boys stretch and run off some energy.

Cole was pretty high up... the mom in me was kinda freaked out but daddy kept reminding me that he needed to be a boy and learn. Needless to say I tried to look the other way.

If you look close enough you will see us in the shadows.

When we arrived we found this little patch of snow left over on the side of the house. The boys had fun playing in it!!

Wayne went for his usual 25 mile bike ride so the boys and I decided to rake all the pine needles away from the bon fire pit. Cody was helping bring some wood over to put on the fire. I couldn't believe how strong he was (it may not look like much but this was a very large branch!!)

Listening to his big brother intently

They get along more and more lately!!

Checking out the fallen log. It was fun beating it with sticks. LOL

Cole thought this statue was really neat and wanted me to take a picture next to it. He is always asking me to get a cat....

We walked around town and had some dinner. They did really good so we thought we would treat them to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and let them each pick out 1 thing. They both picked the M&M covered pretzels. :)

We decided to take a day trip to Creede. It is a little mining town on the other side of Wolf Creek Pass. This was the day that Cole and Wayne felt the worst. :*( They were troopers though and tried to have fun!

This is the only underground fire station in the world! It was really neat to get to go in as they do not let most people see it.

Cody, Rooger and I decided to take a walk one day while Wayne stayed home with Cole.

Posing for me with Roo

Rooger is such a good boy he stayed close the whole time!!

Kisses from Mommy!

He asked if I could take one of him giving me a kiss!

This is a shot of him trying to explain to me the sound of the wind through the trees. He would say "Stop, listen.... Spooky, Woooooooo"!! It cracked me up!
