Colorado- last update

Well....we've wrapped up 3 fun-filled weeks and we've had a great time in Colorado. We are headed back to Austin tomorrow morning. Kaycee has it narrowed down to hours now...18 and counting. They will miss grandpa and grandma, but they are VERY ready to see Andy and Andy is VERY ready to have us back home. I have a few more pictures this time, so please be patient.

Kaycee, Haylee, grandma, and grandpa


Haylee was reading books to herself on the stairs. Too cute!


I found a few extra pictures from when we were in Casper, Wyoming last week. This is Aunt Lois and Uncle Denny's new dog, Cassie.


We went to Windsor Lake and rented a paddleboat and a canoe ($5.00/half hour). It was a lot of fun until we got out into the middle of the lake and Haylee says, "I have to go potty."




On the 4th of July, we started the morning by going to the Independance Day Parade in Greeley. The girls got to see a couple hundred longhorns and a bunch of other fun floats. Kaycee and grandma also made a jello flag.




After that, we went to the Greeley Family Fun Plex. It's basically a big (city) indoor water park/pool. The girls loved it. Kaycee rode the big red slide (you can see it in the background) about 7-8 times. We had ice cream at Marble Slab afterwards.




We went back to Windsor Lake for the big firework show. It was great! We were all worn out by the end of the night, but there was still a little time to do a few sparklers! Haylee wasn't so sure about them.



Our final adventure was camping in Estes Park. We headed up Sunday morning and came back Monday afternoon. We had an "interesting time"! We made S'mores, saw deer, played games, etc. The girls loved it and are already talking about next time.




It was so much fun going into Rocky Mountain National Park. We went all the way to the top of Trail Ridge Road. There was still a little bit of snow for the girls to play in. Kaycee had fun, but Haylee DID NOT enjoy it one bit. She took one step into the snow and decided it wasn't for her. After that, she wouldn't get out of the truck again and said, "I doesn't like my toes to be cold." Our little Texan!






Grandpa and Grandma's final "date" with the girls was playing miniature golf and riding go-carts/bumper boats at a place in Estes. Kaycee got 3 hole-in-ones and Haylee got one! They were very proud of themselves! I actually got a 2 1/2 hour break!! I went up to rooftop coffee shop and read my book. It was great! Great views too!
