Colorado Day 1

As you know, Justin and the boys left Sunday afternoon to head to Colorado on a boys only vacation. They stopped at about 8pm for dinner at McDonalds...they even got to play on the playground so you know they knew it was going to be a great trip!! :-) Got ready for bed and then got back in the truck for the remainder of the drive. Justin was planning on stopping somewhere in New Mexico, but about the time he got tired because it was late and because it was a deserted highway...Logan woke him up. Um, yup, night terror. Apparently he started screaming bloody murder to "turn off the car, get out of the car, stop the car." Heheee, and it's only funny because I can totally imagine it. Justin said he about wet his pants!! And of course Logan went right back to sleep, well it gave Justin just the oomph he needed to make it to Colorado. They stopped in a small town about the time Cody was waking up from his "nap." Yup, now Cody was up...and if you know Cody, when he's up...he's up!

He somehow got them both settled in bed and they fell asleep. The boys did anyway, Justin ended up with the short straw and got to sleep with Cody...or lay with Cody while he had his foot on Justin's back, on his face, arm on his head. :-) Cody isn't the stillest sleeper! (Poor Justin!)

Woke up Monday morning and drove the rest of the way. And boy were they excited. They called and said they could see the mountains and all the snow. Super fun!! Got checked into the hotel and hung out. (Oh and the camera broke so he bought a new one!!) Here's some test shots...Happy, happy boys!
They aren't the best quality so I'm hoping it's Justin's poor picture taking ability and not the camera!! (totally not complaining Justin, just explaining!!! Keep up the good work!) There's an indoor pool at the hotel so of course, they had to check it out!
And guess what??? Cody's swimming! Justin said he just jumped right in with no fear and swam all around! Funny and awesome!! (Still happy boys huh?)
There's a college campus next to their hotel which was pretty much vacant Justin said so they loaded up the sleds and headed over. They went sledding all over the place apparently and had a ball!
After sledding they went to Mexican for dinner, that was Logan's choice, tomorrow is Cody's the next is Justin's...sounds pretty fair huh? Well, in the middle of dinner Cody complained of a stomach ache, and Justin realized he hadn't really eaten all day...and Logan's wire on his braces broke. I got a call and helped figure out what to do. :-) Now maybe he'll know what I do when he's at work!!

Anyway, they decided to head back to the hotel and get ready for bed. (still happy boys)
All in all, first day sounded like a success. Wish I was there!!! Boohooohoohooo! Can't wait to get more pictures and hear more stories! Love and miss you all!
