Vacation Time!

Posted byShawnNJenniferPosted inUncategorized

This month we went on vacation in Colorado. Abby had never seen mountains before so we decided to skip the beach this year and show her something new.

Before our vacation, Abby and I celebrated the 4th of July at the zoo.
Shawn had to work all day on the 4th so after the zoo we went to a cookout at a friend’s house. Abby had a ball playing with other kids. We Shawn got home that night we shot off fireworks from our back porch. Abby doesn’t really like fireworks because they are loud so I didn’t get any good pictures.
To prepare for vacation, Abby had her first professional mani/pedi.
She loved the nail salon and now wants to go with me every two weeks. Since she is five, we are going to limit her visits to special occasions.
We flew to and from Denver for our vacation. Abby is a great flyer and was excited to watch Wicked and The captain underpants movie on the planes. When she grows up she wants to be a pilot!
In Colorado, we went to a Bigfoot museum. Although Abby maintained the Bigfoot is not real she had fun seeing Bigfoot “artifacts.”
Abby loves hotel life. She is excited every morning for breakfast and the waffle bar. And we went to the hotel pool everyday of our trip!
We went to the Denver Science Museum.
Abby really like all the dinosaur bones!
We went to both the Denver and Cheyanne Zoos.
At the Denver zoo we got to see a hippo play with a ball which was really cool.

The highlight of our trip was going up to the top of Pikes Peak. Here is a Bigfoot crossing sign that Shawn and I had stopped at before Abby was born.

This is our family at the top of the mountain.
There was still snow on the mountain top!
Abby through snowballs at the side of the mountain.
Abby liked climbing on all the rocks!
The view from the top!
Abby also panned for rocks about half way up the mountain.
Also this month, We saw the Smurf movie and How to train your dragon.
Thank you to whoever sent the space Barbie. She loves it!
Here is a cool video of her jumping into the pool.
This is Abby jumping off of the diving board for the first time! She is so brave!
