Colorado 2016
(June 20-27)
A few days after school ended the girls and I traveled to Colorado for our annual trip to Grandma and Grampy's house. James joined us there a few days later. My girls are amazing travelers and this trip I asked extra of them...both coming and going we had really late arrivals due to not so great frequent flier mile scheduling. Long days of traveling and late night arrivals (it was 1 am by the time we got to my parents house) but they did great. As always, kind strangers complimented me on how well behaved they are. We started them traveling as babies and it has paid off.

Anikka got to go the the Durango pool twice with her cousins. Elin and I had to stay home the first time because she had the stomach flu the night before.
-Popsicles every day after lunch
As an added bonus, the ice cream truck came by one evening so they had popsicles twice that day.
-They also did play-doh, picked strawberries, made s'mores and played in the sprinklers/wading pool.
This year we went to Lemon Lake one afternoon for a picnic lunch and swim in the lake.
When you play hard you also sleep hard.
They asked the day before we left if we could stay "6 more days".
We love our family so much and can't wait for next summer.
