Colorado Adventure

We just returned home from an awesome trip to Colorado. We celebrated Brian's parent's 40th Anniversary while were out there. The weather is absolutely delightful...cool days and nights! Brian's sister, Tammy, and her husband, Paul, have a condo in Keystone, so we were able to stay there for a week and they were great at showing us kid friendly places...parks, horse stables, recreation center, etc. We all had a great time. It was very nice to spend time with family without it being jammed into a few days like at the holidays.

Playground Fun





Landon thinks he is "big stuff" standing on the BIG rock with his cousins


As we were leaving a restaurant, Landon found this big stick and he did not want to put it down, so Brian grabbed the other end and walked him to the car...it was pretty funny!

"Daddy, how many of these bills do I need to buy myself a doggy?"



The girls went for pedicures one afternoon...aren't our toes pretty? We all got the color - Friar Friar Pants and Fire!


Grandpa and Grandma treated us to a train ride on the Georgetown Loop Railroad. This was Landon's first real train ride...much different than the ones at parks and zoos! We got to see some great scenery on our ride and Landon spotted some of his new favorite animal...ground squirrels!



Brian, Mike (Brian's Brother) and Lloyd (Brian's Dad)rented 4-wheelers for the day and they truly enjoyed themselves! They could not stop talking about how much fun it was.



We headed for Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp on Friday for a HUGE Yutzy Family Reunion. This is held every 3 years and we always have a blast. There were several cousins Landon's age, so he had a FUN time with them. We hiked up to Monkey Rock and The Crags. Landon loved pointing out the ground squirrels during the hikes...he has a good eye for them! This reunion is such a great experience because you really get to know all the extended family pretty well and everyone is so inviting and welcoming!
