We decided to take a trip to Colorado and spend time with family while it was safe to drive and we wouldn't get stuck in a snow storm.
We started our trip on Saturday morning. We drove to Utah for my cousins baby shower and I got to see my best friends. Our first stop was in Layton for breakfast with Laurin and her family. I hadn't seen Laurin in 2 years. I got to meet her sweet little girl and Walters future wife, Kaymin!
I dropped Michael off at a nice golf course with my uncle and cousins while us girls (and Walt) went to the baby shower. It was so fun to be with family. Tori is going to be an amazing mother!
After the shower we met up with my old roommates, Hannah and Sarah. It had been 5 years since we were all together (at my wedding). It was so good to spend some time eating yummy cookies on the grass at the temple with them. I didn't want our time together to end. Olivia and Walt loved them!!
That night Tori did my hair and Megan did my sisters hair! Thanks Tor! Thankfully after Tori finished my hair Walt woke up and decided not to sleep the rest of the night and that kept all of us up. Our plan to leave at 5am was not going to work since we hadn't slept. It was really a blessing since it had snowed 4 inches on the Eisenhower tunnel and it was closed. We stayed the night in grand junction and we all slept great (for the last time on our trip...). We headed out to Colorado springs the next morning.
We did some fun things in Colorado Springs. We went on a nature walk and had some good laughs. As you will see in the pictures below Olivia was a happy camper then 5 seconds later she turned into a diva and had a meltdown. She only wanted to be held by me and when I set her down she would go limp and lay with her eyes closed and when grandma held her she went limp. The second I picked her up she perked back up and pointed at all the things she saw. Walt was an angel as always!
We went to a cute pumpkin patch that had a lot of fun things to do. We saw lots of animals and Olivia road a pony but hated every second of it. She also road in a tractor train and hated that. We jumped on a cool blow up bouncy thing and luckly she enjoyed that. We found the perfect pumpkin and carved it when we got home into Cinderella.
We also went to Boo at the Zoo! It was so cute! Walt dressed up as a giraffe and the real giraffes must have thought he was one of their own and licked him to make sure. It was so funny! Olivia was a cowgirl and probably the cutest cowgirl ever!
Our favorite part was playing with cousins and spending time with family. Also, carrying around daisy the dog. We are so glad we got to spend so much time with family. We love you all! I hate not knowing when we will get to see everyone again. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.
