Up, Up, Up and Away...

We decided now that Rylan was at an age where she could actually enjoy the snow, we would pick up where we had left off 2 years ago and head back to Colorado. We had gone a few years in a row prior to me getting pregnant and we had all anxiously been awaiting the time where we would be able to return! This year's destination: Dillon, Colorado. Dates: 2.2.11-2.9.11

We left Austin bright and early on Wednesday, February 2. Our shuttle bus picked us up about 3:30 am for a 6 am flight. Here is on Ry drinking her breakfast and trying really hard to figure out why we were awake.

On the plane, Ry did amazing. We were very lucky our flight wasn't sold out! This meant we were able to bring her carseat on the place since we didn't purchase her her own seat. She just watched Dora and sucked on her lollipop (so her ears didn't bother her). When we arrived in Denver, we went straight to the rental car place to get our rentals. After a gorgeous drive, an amazing breakfast in Morrison, and a tired Mommy it was naptime!!! We spent the first couple days walking around Breckenridge, Keystone, and Dillon shopping, eating, and drinking. The snow was out of control. The 7 days we were there, it snowed approximately 40". We were snowed in for 2 days! Ry was not a happy camper on those 2 days! She loved the snow! Any time she wasn't in the snow, she wasn't happy. Let's just say, Daddy spent a lot of time outside.

On Monday, everybody wanted to go ski minus Mom, Will, I and the kids, so we all headed to Frisco for a day of sledding. When we got there, Drew decided he didn't want to do it anymore, so Will went alone (the margaritas at lunch probably helped in this decision). He was too funny to watch! He had a blast. Here is Grandma with her babies playing in the snow while waiting for Uncle/Daddy Will.

Mom had to run into Target and left us in the car on the way home. Drew wouldn't stop tickling Ry. It was so cute!

Tuesday mom took us for a wonderful lunch at one of our favorite spots, Salt Creek in Breck. After lunch we went back to the house to start packing. We had to be at the airport Wednesday semi-early. All in all it was a great vacation! Amazing memories were made by all and we can't wait to get back there next year!! Here are my loves, ready to get home. Bye-Bye Colorado!! Thank you Grandma Jill for such a fun time. We love you!!
