Pics From Colorado

Kevin and I love visiting Arin. It is such a different atmosphere compared to where we live, so it is a nice change of pace. Arin and her husband live on a ranch in the northwest corner of Colorado along with their daughter, who happened to be celebrating her birthday while we were there.

View from Arin's house down the driveway.

This is the river that runs near the house.
Picture of their garden. We ate fresh sweet corn, zucchini, carrots and tomatoes while we were there. Delicious!
We were able to be there for Jasmin's birthday party. While Kevin and I were happy about that, Kinley was not too sure about all the extra guests. Kinley was fine when she was playing in the playroom, but as soon as Kevin or I took her out in the living room/kitchen area she freaked out and started screaming. We finally gave up on having her attend the party and dressed her up in her warm clothes so Kevin could take her for a walk. Funny thing is, when she was all bundled up and in her stroller she didn't mind being in the kitchen or living room with all the other guests. Kevin never ended up going for that walk with her, we just left her all bundled up, in her stroller inside and she was content.

Opening gifts.

Look who finally made it out of her stroller to get a better view of all Jasmin's gifts. Still bundled up, but making progress.
Even more progress as Kinley shed her hood and hat. She doesn't seem to sure about it though.

Kinley was able to see pigs up close and personal for the first time. She was fearless with that fence between her and the pigs.

Kinley's first time riding a real horse. Thanks for sharing Jasmin!

On the very last day of our vacation, as we were about to leave, Kinley finally let Arin hold her for the first time.

Thanks so much for a wonderful vacation. We had a great time!!

P.S. If you are wondering how Kinley ate on vacation I would have to say medium. We fed her at the table in her Bumbo with Phineas and Ferb on for most meals. She ate pretty much the same on vacation as she had been eating at home before we left. We tried a bottle a couple of times while there and she did OK. She would take most of the bottle, but then spit up just a little once in a while. Kinley did try a couple of new foods on vacation with her favorite being sausage from a breakfast burrito. Overall I would say she did pretty good for being away from home.
