Visit to Colorado

A few weeks ago, Caden and I took a trip to Colorado to visit one of my best friends and her family. I was a little nervous traveling with a 2 month old without Andrew to help me. It was definitely a different experience at the airport. I had Caden’s carseat, the stroller, a diaper bag and suitcase. Going through security was fun. Once we got on the plane, Caden did surprisingly well. I fed him right before take off and during landing which helped keep his ears from hurting.
He was pretty content just sitting on my lap and looking around for most of the flight. It’s amazing how helpful people are when they see a mom traveling with a baby and without a husband to help out. People offered to help me put my seat belt on, grab something from the diaper bag, bring the stroller down the jetway, etc… It was nice to have help – even from complete strangers!

We stayed in Colorado for 4 days. We had so much fun with the Sola family. I hadn’t seen them since June and it’s amazing how much kids can grow in 3 ½ months! This was also the first time they got to meet Caden. It was awesome to see Braylon and Jaxten interact with him. They kept saying “Your baby is so cute!” and they each wanted to hold him. They were so good with him! It was so nice to spend time with Kristy just hanging out on her driveway talking while the kids ran around and played. Since I recently got a new camera, and Kristy is an awesome photographer, she spent some time showing me how to shoot on manual and how to edit pictures in photoshop. I learned a lot and can’t wait to start taking better pictures!

Since we were in Colorado Springs, my close friend Kristen drove down from Denver to spend the day with us. We decided to take the kids to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. It was a gorgeous day outside and the zoo was awesome! They had so many animals. Caden had fun just chillin in his stroller. I can’t wait until he’s old enough to appreciate fun stuff like the zoo.

All in all, it was a super fun trip! I always have such a blast hanging out with Kristy and her kiddos. Now we get to add another little one to the mix! I look forward to many more memories with our kids in the years to come. Thanks again Sola family for having Caden and I at your house. Your home is beautiful! As always, we loved hanging out with you guys! We already miss you all so much and can’t wait until our next visit!

We love you guys!
