We spent part of Spring Break in Longmont, Colorado with the Pools at their new home. We miss them being in Kansas but love the excuse to go to see them! We started the trip with a Saint Patrick's Day Parade, followed by the Denver Zoo, Casa Bonita, lunch with Madeline at school, and lots of Mr. Potato Head, sprinklers, movies, and great fun! Chase couldn't get enough of Madeline and Lucy and even asked to hold baby Ella. Reid and Ella are a match made in heaven! They constantly laughed at each other and Reid wanted to eat her toes and fingers whenever he got ahold of them!
We drove to Limon and stayed there on the way. Coming home we did the trip with no stops and both boys slept the entire way!
Lucy helped clean up the saucer for Reid. They also got used to having baby gates in a house with a lot of stairs!
88 Degrees at the Denver Zoo was not what we expected. Reid and Ella were great and napped on and off. Madeline, Lucy, and Chase made it all day and we didn't have any meltdowns!
This is Ella's reaction to Reid! They were cracking each other up!
Isn't this how most people lug their child around? He was determined not to fall asleep! Not sure it was comfy for Jason but it was for Chase!
As kids I remember going to Casa Bonita with Tara and our families. The food is horrible but the atmosphere is great for kids. Chase left his mark by throwing his dinosaur into the waterfall!
Unfortunately Madeline was not on spring break so I went and had lunch with her at school. Her little friend wanted in the picture too! Lucy, Chase, Reid, and Ella got a lot of extra play time and we went to the "train" park when Madeline got home.
Reid summarized how we felt about our mini vaca!!!
