Overdue

We went to Steamboat Springs, Colorado last week with my family. We've been back almost a week and I still haven't posted pictures.

So, it rained everyday we were there and Nathan got pretty sick. Like 103 temperature several times in 3-4 days sick and was pretty cranky/ornery/miserable and cried a lot. All he wanted to do a lot of the time was sit on my lap. That never happens. No, really. That never happens.

We did manage to do some fun things, but I don't have many pictures to show of it. Lucky for you.

A bike ride on a trail by the river. It was really fun, and then it rained on us, but stopped by the time we got back. Go figure.

Along the way was a really pretty flower garden. So, we stopped to take a look.

I kissed a frog...

and it turned into my prince.

Grandma and Grandpa love their grandbaby. Who wouldn't?? And, yup, that's my muddy back and tush from riding in the rain. Corey thought it was funny...


This is Nathan's new face. I was so excited I actually caught it in a picture because I tried for a good 10 mins to no avail. He does this face when he's excited, or sometimes for no reason. But, it always makes us laugh!


Then on the last day we were there, we went to the hot springs, which really felt more like a pool. It didn't stink at all! Nothing like Crystal Hot Springs, or even Lava! Notice the super fun slide in the background. Corey and Parker went down many-a-time.

**Mental note, take pictures at the beginning of future activities so as not to get 'tired look' in pictures

As a whole, it was fun and relaxing and then the day after we got home, I took Corey to the airport for his training duties this summer. He'll be back at the end of July, about 6 weeks. The vacation was kind of bittersweet because we knew what was coming immediately after.

"The greater the sacrifice, the greater the blessing."

Easier said than done, I think...
