First Vacation

While my brother, Todd, and his family were visiting from California we went up to Estes Park and stayed a couple of nights to spend more time with them. The days were great and we had a lot of fun. The nights were a very different story! Vieve woke up about every hour the first night and about every 20-30 minutes the second night. By 'woke up', I mean angry baby screaming. I am guessing about half of the people in the hotel woke up whenever she did - wow, it was loud. It will be a while before we go on any more overnight trips again! Despite the horrendous nights of little/no sleep we managed to have a great time with Uncle Todd, Aunt Deanna, and cousins Jared, Stephanie, and Bryce. Vieve also had some other firsts on this trip - first bus ride and first big-girl high chair in a restaurant. Here are some pics from that very eventful trip.

Souvenir shopping with Papa. Coon-skin hat for Vieve? We passed on that one.


Eating dinner at Poppy's in a big-girl high chair. Yes, I was 'that' mother whipping out the camera in the middle of the restaurant.



Hiking at Alberta Falls all snuggled up inside Mama's jacket.
