Colorado....Part 1

Well, we have been in Colorado visiting Brian's parents for a few days now. We are truly having the time of our lives, especially Blake! He absolutely LOVES it here. So far, he has rode a pony, Zeb, rode on a big horse, Bud, with Nana, taken lots of rides on the ATVs, tractors and lawn mowers, picked vegetables from the garden. rode in the wagon, collected lots of rocks, played in the muddy river, had a campfire...just to name a few. Cade is also having a blast riding in the wagon, playing in the dirt, and just being a 1 year old.

Their property here is so beautiful, and peaceful. We see lots of deer along with all of the horses they have. One of my favorite parts about being here is Debbie's cooking. The food she makes is incredible and most is homemade. So far we have had fresh raspberry pie, homemade granola, brocoli salad, coconut cake, chicken stew, pickles...again, just to name a few and all of these are truly homemade from scratch!!! We had a campfire last night for dinner followed by smores. Jim cooked the ribs and corn right on the campfire and we ate down by the pond followed by smores.


Both boys are napping now so Debbie, Brian and I are going for a horseback ride. I get to ride Pete, who I rode yesterday and last year. He is such a sweet horse!

(I can't upload pictures here so I will post them when I get home)
