Exercise

Granola decided she wanted the exercise, so she hiked instead of riding the magic carpet.

Snowboarding

Opening Day Runs

This was her last run of the day.

Opening Day at Copper

We all headed down to Copper opening day not really expecting to ride based on how Granola was the entire morning. Things turned around once we got to the mountain. She was polite and patient while we waited in line to get our passes, it was a warm wait. And when it was time to hit the slopes, she was ready. Granola took almost ten runs and wanted the "exercise", so she decided to hike up the hill instead of taking the magic carpet. She did really well, even had a couple falls, which were followed up by smiles. All around good opening day of the season for Granola on the hill. This year we're hoping to teach her how to turn and stop on her own.

Happy Halloween

We had a fun Halloween. Granola dressed up as Tigger, thanks Jeremiah. We headed to Trick or Treat St. in town and got some goodies, hit up a few houses in our neighborhood, and went home for a small get together with some of Granola's friends. They decorated pumpkins, cookies and ran around the house all sugared up.

Our Zoo Anniversary

We made sure we saw everything there was to see and do everything there was to do. We rode the train and the Merry Go Round. Granola absolutely loved everything and was in awe of every animal. It was really fun seeing her reactions to everything.


She chose the lion for the first ride.



An arm load of loot. Spoiled.
And she got a little rest on the drive home. After her nap she tore her penguin apart to "see what the squeaker was."

Zoo II

Just a handful of pictures from our wonderful day at the zoo.

Denver Zoo

After our weekend in GJ we decided to go to the Denver Zoo for our anniversary. We had an amazing day even though it was all about Granola, as usual.

Feeding a bird.
Checking out the new construction.
PBJ for lunch.
Had to get some cotton candy.

She loves penguins.

Hiking Swan Mountain

After running some errands in the county we headed out for a short hike at Swan Mt. There were some nice colors in the Aspens.

Wedding Photos

She had to do some dancing before we left. She was really tired, so it was pretty humorous to see.

Our Little Flower Girl

We had our step sisters wedding to attend in GJ the weekend when we came home from NY. Mom and Granola were both in the wedding so they were looking super cute. The wedding went great and we all had a wonderful time.

Goodbye NY, Until Next Time

Our entire trip was nice and relaxing. It was great spending so much time with everyone. We can't wait for the next trip out. The flights back home went as smooth as they could have. We had the same flight to Atlanta as Aunt Nancy, so she bought us lunch during our layover. That was nice spending a little extra time with her before heading back home. Thanks for that Nancy.
