Fall trip to Colorado

Morgan and I took a last minute trip to Colorado this past week to visit some of our family. We arrived on Friday morning in Denver to a chilling 52 degrees. Such a change from Phoenix! As we headed down to Colorado Springs we stopped in Castle Rock to do a little shopping at the outlet malls. There was even snow on the ground there.
We arrived in Colorado Springs at my Grandma's house to lot's of Fall leaves on the ground. Morgan was amazed as she sat in them and they CRUNCHED!

On Saturday we headed over to my Aunt and Uncle's house to see them and my 3 cousins, along with my grandparents. Morgan was being such a ham as we were leaving!

Here we are with my dad's parents. This is the third time they have gotten to see Miss Morgan this year! We are pretty lucky to be able to make these trips back there to see our family!

After a long afternoon of playing we headed to Starbucks and then Michael's to get a few treats. Miss Morgan was soo tired she fell asleep sitting up in the cart. Poor girl!

Here is Mister Wesley playing away. This is my cousin Michelle's son...so my 2nd cousin! They are moving to Germany soon, so we wanted to get one last visit in before they head off.

After the babies went to sleep on Saturday night Michelle and I decided to bake cupcakes for our family dinner on Sunday night. We were having entirely WAY too much fun. We even woke up my Grandma at 10:30 just to show her a cupcake we decorated JUST for her! She then joined in on the laughter...I think it was mid-night before we all got to bed!

Here is a preview of what we did.

On Sunday we were stuck in doors for the most part of the day due to the snow and the frightfully chilling temperature of 27 degrees. We hung out at Grandma's until we had to head to Grandpa's for our family dinner.

The falling snow...

Morgan's first time in the snow. She kept saying "WOW Mama"!

Monday morning it was still pretty cold, but I decided to take Morgan out to play in the snow. She just stayed on the sidewalk...but was truly amazed at the white stuff on the ground.

After it warmed up a bit we decided to go do some more shopping. I don't think a girl can EVER do too much shopping in one weekend. One of our FAVORITE stops was Target. Look how happy those babies are riding in the cart a "new" way. Morgan acted like she was quite something sitting there. Wesley just kept kicking his feet everywhere and smiling!

Here is a view of Pikes Peak with snow on the top! This was taken off the deck at my Grandma's house. What a view she has everyday!

Here is Morgan on Tuesday morning sitting with Mickey Mouse watching The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She just LOVED this life size Mickey!

We finally made it to the Denver airport to head home. Shawn was gone all last week on a hunting trip in Texas with his father, so we couldn't wait to get home and see him! Traveling is so much fun...but VERY exhausting at the same time!
